Despite what you may think

We imprison our children

In institutions

No treatment

Berated all day

Against all hope

Bury your head in the sand

A unintelligible unimaginable task

Chainlink fence scars

On his face proves he is

Far from weak

Too smart to bow

Down to establishment in

All its forms

Corpses on the assembly line waste

Bitter time as they die out

How many hamburgers

How many lines

How can we escape this hell

Too long have we sat here pompous

Wagging our belligerent tongues

It is time we took some action

I will not be this cretin you wish to

make out of me

I cannot reason with you just beat

the shit out of me

I am the furor

You now own nothing

Look in the mirror

Pathetic and worthless to society

Thumbs in your armpits

Or I will break them off

Aren't you so pretty

When you cry like a little girl

Wipe the snot from your face

And face your peers

When you have no right to

Thought or ambition

And when they all use the

Cross to conform

What's left but liquid death

and desperation

What's left but being despised by

your own mom

Corpses are now multiplying

By the thousands overwhelmed

Scratching scraping

At my forehead desperate

To clamber out

Never learned my lesson

Punishment is now a blessing

Scorned

When you are in Solitary

Torn from this twisted book

The bible he's found

His way of survival but

Don't count on his revival

No hope

You need quite a bit of persistence

To be let out of the system and

Out into the real world

So cold

Look back at your life

Seventeen and no place is home

"Why don't I just kill myself"

"I'm already dead to all of you"

Cornered by insanity

This is just no life for me

So I slip into the dream I can’t

Wake from

Back to the same old game

Wasted with no trace of shame

They don't even know my name

When I black out

Puke in my throat

Choke while I sleep

Thuggin 4 lyfe

Born just to die
