about

This song is rude. It has rough edges. It does things wrong. These are all reasons I really like it.

lyrics

Now what?
I hate the things I know
Remember
To keep yourself a memento

And maybe
Things will all turn around
I'm sleeping
With my ears plugged up to block the sound

How come them walls are poundin'?
Don't they know? Don't they know?
I'll have to teach some manners
They'll see who's friend or foe

Yeah, sure
You're beautiful
But it's not enough
To keep me here anymore (bye bye)

It's over
The life that you got used to
A chapter
That ended before you knew it was through

What do you mean, it's OVER?
Nobody asked me nuthin'
Why don't I get my say-so?
Who's life is this I'm livin'?

Stuck here in solitary
Up on the mountain-top
There's no way you can find me
So don't you even try
My mind has turned to jelly
Ev'rything fragmentary
I must'a missed the announcement
Last one out, turn off the lights

You know
You needed a push out the door
I guess so
But it would've been nice not to be so poor

I done lost all my money
The state won't lend a hand
Too bad I was a good boy
Make this my reprimand

Stuck here in solitary
Up on the mountain-top
There's no way you can find me
So don't you even try
My mind has turned to jelly
Ev'rything fragmentary
I must'a missed the announcement
Last one out, turn off the lights
Sick with the dysentery
Time to be lookin' for
Space in the cemetary
Man, them prices sho' is high
My mind has turned to jelly
Ev'rything fragmentary
I must'a missed the announcement
Last one out, turn off the lights
