I KNOW IT? HARD TO BELIEVE BUT PART OF ME WAS SCARED TO LEAVE
|
THEY WERE SO CONCERNED WITH WHAT I DESERVED
|
THEY NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I? NEED
|
AND I KNOW MY FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL
|
ARE DROPPING MY NAME BECAUSE THEY THINK IT? SO COOL
|
THAT IM CAUGHT IN A CAGE MATCH RUN BY THE STATE
|
WITH MIDDLE-AGED MEN WHISPERING SOFTLY ABOUT RAPE
|
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME, WHERE SHOULD I GO
|
TRAPPED WITH WORSE EVILS THAN I?E EVER KNOWN
|
THINK OF WHAT YOU HAD SEEN WHEN YOU WERE 16
|
THAN THINK OF ME
|
NOW I? JUST A GUY WHO? GOT HALF HIS TIME TO GO
|
IF GOOD BEHAVIOR MEANS A TWO-YEAR SHOW
|
OTHER CONS ARE TALKING ABOUT ME NOW THEY CALL ME THE KID
|
AND THE JUDGE WHO SENT ME UP MADE A GOOD IMPRESSION
|
FOR THE NEXT ELECTION
|
BUT WHAT THE MEDIA WON? SAY IS EVEN WITH MY FREEDOM
|
I STILL WOULDN? BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE AGAINST HIM
|
SOME NIGHTS ALL I COULD DO WAS SIT AND CRY
|
IS THIS WHAT THEY WANT OR DO THEY WANT ME TO DIE?
|
IF THAT? THE CASE, SPARK UP THE CHAIR, TAPE UP MY FACE
|
KILL ME RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE I CAN? TAKE THIS LIVING IN FEAR
|
AND WHAT I? GETTING OUT OF THIS HAS NEVER MAD IT SELF CLEAR
|
AS A FREE MAN I HAD TO FIGHT WHAT THEY TAUGHT ME
|
PARANOIA AND CONSTANT BIGOTRY
|
A MIND-SET DESIGNED AND PROVIDED JUST TO HOLD ME DOWN
|
WHERE RESPECT CAME ONLY THROUGH INTIMIDATION
|
SO I? ALWAYS EXPECTING A CONFRONTATION
|
APPARENTLY THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL REHABILITATION.
