How They Light Cigarettes in Prison

Try to stab me, motherfucker You can't hit what you can't see, all these lights are blinding me Let's go, let's do it, let's go, you sack of shit Let's go, let's do it, let's go, you sack of shit Try to kill me, motherfucker You can't hit what you can't see, all these lights are blinding me Let's go, let's do it, let's go, you sack of shit Let's go, let's do it, let's go, you sack of shit Hits like rocks only harder, tried to drown in an inch of water Hits like rocks only harder, tried to drown in an inch of water You can't hit me, you can't fucking touch me You can't hit me, you can't fucking touch me Way up high, looking down I can see almost everything Way up high, looking down I can see almost everything Say goodbye Say goodbye This could be the last thing you ever see Say goodbye Like rocks, like knives pushed in; thorn in my side Like rocks, like knives pushed in; thorn in my side Like rocks, like knives pushed in; thorn in my side Like rocks, like knives pushed in; thorn in my side We're bending back the gates of hell We're bending back the gates of hell to ride They moved this city, walls, piece by piece They moved this city, without a day of rest Every brick and nail laid at the gates of hell The only thing they left us was this burnt out shell Never coming back, won't pass this way again If I ever did, I'd kick your ass again

I'm gonna die if they play that song again If they play it one more time, I swear to God Swear to God I'll die Can't stand this situation Change that fucking station The signal that I need is a hundred miles away And I can't sleep Eyes wide open and the radio's on Eyes wide open and the radio's on The signal that I need is a hundred miles away They can't reach me this far away They can't reach me this late at night They can't reach me this far away They can't reach me this late at night The radio's against me They just played that song again Change that fucking station It seems somebody's happy when they try to make me cry And it works out Eyes wide open and the radio's on Eyes wide open and the radio's on The signal that I need is so far away So far away, so far away, so far away Why does your radio play songs that make me cry? Drive nails in Drive nails in Drive nails in Change that fucking station Touch that dial now Change that fucking station Or you might get to watch me fucking die

Try to draw that day Puts  maps on a page Anything  to bring it back moves it all away Tell it like an accident 100 in the shade Banks  are dripping sweat for me They're  calling out my name Sing it loud, say it away Sing  it loud, say it away Sing it like it's what you want or wear it like a scar Sing it loud, say it away Baby had a gun Bullets  in her other hand Try to make it easier to shoot her way outside Try to make it easy to find a place to hide All I know is that one of us wants to see the other die Hang too tight All I know is that one of us wants to see the other die I also know that one of us wants to touch the other's insides She's all right, it's anything you want She's all right, explain it away She's all right, it's anything you want She's all right, explain it away Away

Crazy Charlie did it again Lights out, assholes Sharp shiv, knuckles, knives Lights out again Stay alive Calm precision, sharp incision Calm precision, sharp incision Cuts holes in you Calm precision, sharp incision Doesn't matter what it was Now we're all fucked because Twist ties twist Words won't make it work It just won't make it light Words won't make it work It just won't make it light, light, light, light When the lights go out on the whole cell block They pull their rusty shanks from behind their backs And walk the floors Waiting for the perfect time You lie with your head in the pillow Crying, praying everything's going to be alright But it's not Not at all Guns and knives behind their eyes The things you say drive me crazy The "ifs" and "buts" are driving me nuts The things you say drive me crazy Seems the same thing happens every time What this is: Electrical Seems the same thing happens every time What this is: Electrical Seems the same thing happens every time What this is: Electrical Seems the same thing happens every time What this is: Electrical
