lyrics

You did something wrong in 1992, you apologized ‘til your face turned blue.

Forgiveness was given and your restrictions were lifted,

You thought that that would be the end of that.

But in ’93, ’94, and ‘5... the same old story, the same old line:

“Do you remember the time?” “You nearly made me cry!”

Your gonna hear about it until the day you die!

I was raised in a snow globe, shake it up and everything’s serene.

An Etch-A-Sketch, well it was your home,

Shake it up and your whole world is wiped clean

Foundation built on the sand, not stone,

Keeping one eye focused on the sea and the foam.

Water rushes and gushes and now your trusses are busted,

And you find yourself adrift at sea.

Never again will you be caught unaware.

Your only course now is to over-prepare.

The thing you were missin’ was a consistent position

And now that it’s your decision, you’re gonna make it your mission.

But not as in a clean break, or a clean slate,

Just a clean bill of health from a cell mate.

The problem this instance is when you’re livin’ in prison

The other prisoners cannot make you free.
