Normal People Prison!

Yaaayyyy!
Normal people prison!
I'm glad your finally here!
Someone thought I stole a watch
And lookie I'm still here! 
Normal people prison!
The jump suites- all the wire.
Eatin' lunch like high schoolers
Calling people liars.
Normal people prison!
His cell mate changed again,
In and out in two weeks-
I've been here over ten.
Normal people prison!
The hours drag along-
Staring out the window
making up a song.
Normal people prison!
What are you here for? Oh same!
Stealing cards, a bit of theft,
A little coke in vein.
Battery, a tiny fraud,
Protests, calls for peace!
4 weeks spent in gray cement
for wanting any feats.
Normal people prison!
welcome behind bars
Feel the metal benches
And the stench of old cigars!
Corruption, scandals, rioters?
Fake news spreaders - where could they be?
Well, this is normal people prison,
All the privileged can go free!
