Whiplash - Rape of the Mind lyrics

With the sun sinking slowly And the vultures flying low Out on the streets again With nowhere to go You've taken you last chance And there's nothing left to lose Pull the gun your on the run And caught by the man in blue [Chorus] Does the punishment fit the crime It's a rape of the mind Take a look at the rich man At the people that he owns Watch the smile on his face Eviction from their homes Caught for tax evasion On the new he's taken away Out a day later Ain't got nothing he wants to say [Chorus] His money pays for his time It's a rape of the mind Now the padded cell is waiting And the doctors come to call Shock treatments aren't helping Still your shocked some more Take your mind from you And your freedom in return With the hopes one day A lesson has been learned [Chorus] Does the punishment fit the crime It's a rape of the mind Rape of the Mind
