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.
ย
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.
ย
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.
ย
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.
ย
And what does it take
To get a drink in this place?
ย
What does it take?
How long must I wait?
ย
And what does it take
To get a drink in this place?
ย
What does it take?
How long must I wait?
ย
How long must I wait?
