Cover art for Penitentiary lyrics by Citizen Cope

"When there's no need to bleed For your father Or your son"

These lines give me a reason to believe this song might actually be about war. Jail might be a symbol of something greater, like the constant fight for a greater good but with so many different cultures, it has to start with a change in the people, hence"in our mind."
