Where to begin

Where to begin
When no one knows the end
Your life isn’t yours
But we promise it will be again
We’re gonna send you to hell
So you can talk to God
We’re gonna put down the bottle
and it’s gonna be hard

I sent you to jail with your own dollars
I will take you there in a black collar
And we’ll put you there for the rest of your days
Just so you won’t mess with my society

I can put you down I can take you over
Stop looking forward and start looking over your shoulder
We’ll send you to a license plate factory
Where you’ll be punchin’ numbers thinking live or die free

I can take you there I will show you the way
I’ll send you to hell just get you to pay
For 20 years at 20 cents a day
Just so I got my new star in my parade

One less vote one less voice
One less person with one less choice
We’ll bury you deep in the system
So get your memories so you can miss them

Where to begin when no one knows the end
Your life isn’t yours but we promise it will be again
We’re gonna send you to hell we like to call it jail
And I forgot to mention there ain’t no God around here
