Changed Minds Lyrics & Chords By Gather

What "order" is being maintained here? To whose benefit are these laws for? Each situation not taken into account, so a racist classist sexist institution of forms. Womyn in prisons for self defense, kills her abuser, she finally fights back. Or a resistant assistant to a forceful man, but "battered womyn's syndrome must be a myth". And so her punishment will be more harsh because she's stepped out of her passive role. Of her own life, she van never have control. Stay helpless, don't try to break the mold. Enforcement of a random "norm" established by people I couldn't dispise more. Prisons punish the desperate and those who refuse to conform, to uphold this system's shit, anyone who rejects it is a suspect. But crimes themselves are rarely the problem, they're jsut symptoms of a culture gone terribly wrong. Laws create a dependece on the State, they prevent us from taking matters into our own hands. Meanwhile the mass murderers, environmental destroyers, CEO's and tehir corporations remain free, their actions unpunished. Prisons never worked in the past, try something new. When will we take back our autonomy? When will we set ourselves free?
