Dillinger Four Shut Your Little Trap Inc Lyrics

Shut Your Little Trap Inc Lyrics

I know it's 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'd need



And I know my friends from high school 



Are dropping my name because they think it's so cool



That I'm 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've ever known



Think of what you had seen when you were sixteen



Then think of me







Now I'm just a guy who's 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't say is even with my freedom



I still wouldn't be old enough to vote against him



Some nights all I could do is sit and cry



Is this what they want or do they want me to die?



If that's the case, spark up the chair, tape up my face



Kill me right here, because I can't take this living in fear



And what I'm getting out of this has never made itself clear



As a free man I've had to fight what it 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'm always expecting a confrontation



Apparently this is what they call rehabilitation.
