Until the Plan for the Jail is Undone

Chorus: We don’t want a youth jail. A place where our kids go to fail. We want money spent On plans with intent To keep our kids learning and free. Don’t give us a jail Where our kids go to fail And the judges have such a nice space. Don’t claim you’re concerned When our trust is not earned And our faith in King County misplaced. More children of color End up in the jail. Where is the justice in that? We want no kids locked up Where they just get fucked up. And the contractors’ wallets get fat. Chorus The land’s full of waste. With more than a trace Of toxins to make our kids sick. Another good reason why The jail should not fly. We won’t accept such a big risk. Dow blocked our appeal. His support is not real To stop youth incarceration. We want all to know We’ll continue to show Till the plan for the jail is undone.
