Jailbird
Jailbird
We are all given a sentence
Four years at our local high school
Even though no crime has been committed
We have still been convicted
There are different cells and each one offers a new kind of hell
Graded on how well accept what we are told
Our every move controlled by a bell on the wall
We are all trapped inside this bricked stronghold
Every day we are released at three
Only to come back the next morning
We sing the jailhouse blues as we enter the school
All of us stuck in this taxing never ending loop
At the end of our sentence, we are free
But the shadows of those shackles never leave
Most of us are off to get our degree
A goal that they groomed for us to achieve
