When in jail some don’t want to go home, it’s true
Hard to believe, so I will find out more for you
Are the dudes for real, or a screw loose in the head
They would rather stay in jail, than going home instead
Let’s take a close look as to why this comes about
Why they don’t want to go home, when it’s time to get out
Think about it my friend, are they insane?
Maybe packing up and going home is too much of a pain
In jail they have their mates, a bed and all the meals
So why would you go home when this lifestyle appeals
Their time is spent relaxed and nothing to worry about in life
While on the outside, cost of living is causing financial strife
They’re probably not missing a screw or even silly
While snug and warm in bed, others outside are finding it chilly
Jail to these dudes is not a bad place after all
What a life they have, playing cards and kicking a ball
Inmates that want to stay, the real life they have forgot
While others are chomping at the bit and are off like a shot
When in jail some don’t want to go home, it’s true
Hard to believe, so I will find out more for you
Are the dudes for real, or a screw loose in the head
They would rather stay in jail, than going home instead
Let’s take a close look as to why this comes about
Why they don’t want to go home, when it’s time to get out
Think about it my friend, are they insane?
Maybe packing up and going home is too much of a pain
In jail they have their mates, a bed and all the meals
So why would you go home when this lifestyle appeals
Their time is spent relaxed and nothing to worry about in life
While on the outside, cost of living is causing financial strife
They’re probably not missing a screw or even silly
While snug and warm in bed, others outside are finding it chilly
Jail to these dudes is not a bad place after all
What a life they have, playing cards and kicking a ball
Inmates that want to stay, the real life they have forgot
While others are chomping at the bit and are off like a shot

I Am Tired
By Anthony
Tired from being told what to do. I am tired of love, tired of being deemed guilty, tired of my own remorse. I am tired of my own self-doubt, my own shadows and especially tired of my own face.

I Hate You, Crystal Meth
By Mackenzie
Hate’s a strong word, but for you it’s reserved. I hate what you’ve taken from me, my parents, my childhood and my glee.
