From the recording Living in the Corporate U.S.A.
I guess best classified as a Doo-Wop tune, "Doin' Time" is a throwback tune with dual topics: jailing marijuana users and corporate prisons. (Thanks to Stacia, Ceilidh and Reilly, for the backup vocals)
Lyrics
I miss my home, miss my family
Here in the penitentiary
Doin’ time, just for smoking weed,
Now I Work for the prison industry
This war on drugs has got to end
It’s just too hard to comprehend
Jailing non-violents and innocents
It doesn’t make a bit of sense
Two bits an hour is what we earn,
While the Corp CEOs take millions home
Don’t care if we’re innocent or not
Took half my life for smoking pot
This war on drugs has got to stop
Prison corps get paid by the head
With no regard for food or bed
Meanwhile taxpayers foot the bill,
For kickbacks to Capitol Hill
Fewer guards and more prisoners
Mean more rent-a-cell transfers
Two million strong and growing still
Just to feed their labor mill
