Lyrics
The TV screen becomes my eye
It's the legal monster of a future time
There's no opinion that ain't my own
No, thought that isn't mine
Completely
I said 21 years is a long, long time
To be here, in this prison when there ain't no crime
So come on jailer, won't you bring the key
I felt I want to break out the door
Don't you hear me?
You know that damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last
I got creeps in drag crawling 'round my door
Disguised then smart, they quote the law
Sellin bibles for a secret fee
They say it's all done for me
I'm such a lucky man
You know the damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last
It's another lie they want to uphold
Another day 'til we all grow old and break down
So I get bored with a TV mind
No place to go, no future's mine
NF banners flying in the wind
Like free lobotomies
I don't recommend one
So open your mouth and you get done
The police state now keeps you on the run
If you scream injustice better scream it loud
Or get pushed down in the crowd
And what can you do?
You know that damage gets done so fast
It's all the truths that just don't last
Another lie that they want to uphold
Another day 'til we all grow old and break down
You know that damage gets done so fast, listen one time
You know that justice that'll never last, I said I'll break down and
Another day when my life grows old, we'll never listen
Another day when we'll never get told about what's going on
And that's just when I wanna break out, I wanna get out of here now
You know, I just want to smash that door, wanna take my time and
Don't wanna see no small TV, don't wanna see you
I don't wanna listen to a thing that they say, I wanna crash out
I wanna smash, I wanna smash it all
I said I got to take it away, I can't stand it no more
Because I just want to break out
I said I can't take anymore
'Cause it's too much for a boy to handle
I said a fat no, I rather crime against the state
That's another shame
