about

Our version of a holiday song, I suppose. There I was, walking through Albany's Washington Park one day. I noticed who was putting up the holiday lights...

lyrics

Holiday lights going up in the park, got the inmates hanging them long after dark

I was just walking by, my dog and I, kept my head down, looked no one in the eye

On the side of the van, read it if you can, says we’re saving taxes by using these men

Is this something to celebrate? Anything here we’d recreate?
All I know is it’s getting late

If we didn’t walk by and talked to those guys what would they say went wrong?

What of the guards, their shifts in the prison yards, how does the job warp their whole lives?

Dog pulls me along, and after they’re gone, holiday lights shine until dawn.

Is this something to celebrate? Anything here we’d recreate?
All I know is it’s getting late

We climb into bed, but what if instead we went to sleep in one of those cells?

What would we dream, and what would it mean, to see us all punished for every sin?

When we talk of the saved and all those enslaved no money’s changing hands

No money’s changing hands (repeat)

Holiday lights going up in the park, got the inmates hanging them long after dark
