System Of A Down（简称SOAD）是一支来自美国的摇滚乐队，成立于1994年。他们的音乐风格独特，融合了重金属、硬摇滚、朋克和其他乐风，以及充满社会、政治和战争主题的歌词。 《Prison Song》是他们在2001年发行的第二张专辑《Toxicity》中的第一首歌曲。这首歌是由乐队成员Serj Tankian和Daron Malakian共同创作的。 这首歌在创作背景上受到了美国司法系统中存在的种种问题的启发。乐队成员对美国的法律制度和关于管制药物、种族问题以及囚犯死刑等议题所持的不满之情都通过这首歌表达了出来。 歌曲的灵感来源于乐队成员对现代美国的观察和思考。他们认为美国的法律制度存在种种不公平和偏见，对于社会底层、少数族裔和囚犯们来说，没有得到公正的对待，并且有些规定和政策只是为了满足特定集团的利益。同时，乐队对管制药物和囚犯死刑等问题也深感担忧，认为这些对于社会的负面影响不可忽视。 以下是《Prison Song》的歌词： They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison Following the rights movement You'd clench your fists in protest They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison Following the rights movement You'd clench your fists in protest They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison For you and me to live in Another prison system Another prison system Another prison system For you and me, yeah Minor drug offenses Could they be the reasons Why the cops are takin' your freedom? In the land of the free And we're all equal, right? They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison For you and me Oh baby, you and me All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased And law enforcement decreased While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased And law enforcement decreased While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world Drugs are now your global policy Now you police the globe Drug money is used to rig elections And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators Around the world They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison For you and me Oh, Baby, you and me They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison They're trying to build a prison For you and me Don't you know it's a prison? For you and me, for you, for you and me 歌词中表达了对于美国司法系统的不满和担忧。他们指出了药物罪的不公平对待以及对囚犯的惩罚过度，同时还揭露了毒品经济的幕后操作，以及其对全球政治的影响。这首歌词让人们思考并对这些问题进行反思，进而在社会中争取公正和平等的权益。 通过《Prison Song》，System Of A Down以其独特的声音和深刻的歌词向世人传达了对于社会问题的关注，同时也唤起人们对于司法制度公正性的关注。这首歌曲成为乐队最具代表性的作品之一，也是他们对社会问题发声的重要歌曲之一。
