The Lyrics

Oh, you'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm tellin' you why,
A prison may be coming to town...

That building they're building
With the great big wall
At the end of your block
It ain't no Shopping Mall!
A prison may be coming to town...

Step up and meet your neighbors!
They're just plain folks they say!
And you can come and visit them,
On the very next visiting day..

Well we're facing progress
But we're staying on guard,
We want this new prison
In someone else's backyard!
A prison may be coming to town!
