They set the rules
And want me to break
Take all my money
Set me straight

Then they confine me
Make me check in
Analyze my piss
Ask me where I have been

Send me to classes
That say I've been bad
Take some more money
Prove to me, I've been had

And they'll keep on trying
To straighten me out
And the more that they try
More I doubt

This system of corrections
That they put me through
Hasn't brought about change
But this is nothing new
