Last year
Over two million Americans
Were imprisoned
For various crimes
The great majority of which
Were nonviolent

If we were to
Keep locking folks up
At the rate that
The Clinton Adminstration has
By the year 2130
All 320 million Americans
Would find themselves
Behind bars

You might as well
Plead guilty
When you are born
