Prime Crime


Let the innocent roam free

Whilst the criminals rot away

In order to maintain society

And keep the bad at bay

Attempting to break out

The bad boys smash the rod

Not letting themselves pout

They give their partners a nod

 

The bomb gets a blast

The boys bolt fast

The guards wind up dead

The gun fires through

The walls will not do

To protect the underfed

 

The door is burst to shards

The boys make their run

They have no need to play their cards

They already are overflowing with fun

 

The gang of the bang lets out a howling cry

And scout out to find the next to die
