I agree with the post above it's about drug laws and corruption and how drug abusers should be put in rehab. I think more so it's about how the government makes drugs illegal and the CIA imports drugs so they can be sold on the black market for profit. This money is the government's "black budget", money that is untracked and they can use for secret wars around the world. Also, a lot of people don't know that prisoners work for corporations in prison. Company's pay prisons for cheap labor, which makes the government money, and keeps them from making drugs legal and helping people recover from addiction

its about how people using drugs need rehab and that a large percentage of them are repeat offenders because they never got real help......he says they need to get rid of mandatory minimum sentences because just sending them away to prison is NOT going to cure them and so they have to build more and more prisons because the people are addicted and keep doing the drugs so they are sent away again......sort of like an ongoing cycle

This song is about the errors in law enforcement of drugs

"Following the rights movement
"You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids"

When drugs became illegal
They became available through drug dealers
And they're easy to get

"I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in hollywood"

The rich get drugs and if they were
to get caught the punishments
can be bought off

"(nearly 2 million americans are
Incarcerated in the prison system
Prison system of the us)"

example statistic of minor drug offenders
filling prisons

"They’re trying to build a prison
They’re trying to build a prison
They’re trying to build a prison
(for you and me to live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
(for you and me to live in)"

They're trying to solve all of the
drug (and possibly other) problems
by throwing drug users/sellers
in prison



"Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
You don’t even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars
Against the new non-rich"

All our tax dollars are going to fund
prisons for minor drug offenders who
shouldn't be in there but most people
are ignorant/apathetic about it

"All research and successful drug policy show
That treatment should be increased"

We should be putting drug offenders
in rehab but we put them in jail

"And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences"

Less taxpayer money goes towards law enforcement
When minor drug offenders are not put in prison

"Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
Drugs are now your global policy now you police the globe"

Since drugs are on the black market they can't
be controlled by the US government so we have
to stop it in other countries to stop it over here
so now we "police the globe" (kinda like the war now)
and it would probably be more easily controlled in our
country if it wasn't illegal in the first place

"Drug money is used to rig elections
And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
Around the world"

Since drugs are illegal it kind of has the prohibition
effect. The money isn't going to taxes or the economy
its going through the black market to the mob and
dictators and creating organized crime

This is the easiest song in the world to interpret because the lyrics say it straight up. The entire song is basically saying that instead of putting non-violent offenders in prison (specifically drug offenders in the case of this song) that they should be given treatment. Another issue is that drugs can be so easily bought and sold right here in America; "I buy my crack I smack my bitch right here in Hollywood!" Also, they are saying that the governments, not just ours but all over the world, are actually benefitting from drug money. I mean seriously, the lyrics "Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
Drugs are now your global policy now you police the globe" and "Drug money is used to rig elections
And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
Around the world" are right there! Their shouldn't even be a need for this song to be interpreted.
