burden yourself, as a random card dealt
or burden what others might judge you to be
burden yourself, or the child who needs help
they’ll lock up the grass caus’ it’s IMpOSSibly gREEN

17 years and she’s a victim
brings a child to bare
leaves him wrapped up in plastic
17 years, she hasn’t learned to care
and now there’s madness in the court room
a hard line judge hands out 8 years

maybe we learn from what’s around us
what tv shows us everyday
sex and violence, our frigid morals pump the crave
they make money on our puritan ways
but there’s madness in the jail room
she’ll learn locked up it’s the american way
