I KNOW IT扴 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扗 NEED 

AND I KNOW MY FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL 

ARE DROPPING MY NAME BECAUSE THEY THINK IT扴 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扸E EVER KNOWN 

THINK OF WHAT YOU HAD SEEN WHEN YOU WERE 16 

THAN THINK OF ME 

NOW I扢 JUST A GUY WHO扴 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扵 SAY IS EVEN WITH MY FREEDOM 

I STILL WOULDN扵 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扴 THE CASE, SPARK UP THE CHAIR, TAPE UP MY FACE 

KILL ME RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE I CAN扵 TAKE THIS LIVING IN FEAR 

AND WHAT I扢 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扢 ALWAYS EXPECTING A CONFRONTATION 

APPARENTLY THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL REHABILITATION.
