This Place Is a Prison - Remastered

Lyrics

This place is a prison
 These people aren't your friends
 Inhaling thrills through twenty dollar bills
 And the tumblers are drained and then flooded
 Again and again.
 ♪
 There's guards at the onramps
 Armed to the teeth
 And you may case the grounds
 From the Cascades to Puget Sound
 But you are not permitted to leave.
 
 I know there's a big world out there
 Like the one that I saw on the screen
 In my living room late last night
 It was almost too bright to see.
 
 And I know that it's not a party
 If it happens every night
 Pretending there's glamor and candelabra
 When you're drinking by candlelight.
 ♪
 And what does it take
 To get a drink in this place?
 ♪
 What does it take?
 How long must I wait?
 ♪
 And what does it take
 To get a drink in this place?
 ♪
 What does it take?
 How long must I wait?
 ♪
 How long must I wait?
