Uncle Sam taught you the way of the fist
And that murder is the answer when you’re mildly pissed
And that you can blame your crimes on war trauma
Give your own friends trauma, lead to courtroom drama
They describe all the pranks you pulled upon them
And how you told them to take it like they’re manly men
And how you called them every bigoted slur in the book
Lifelong sentence, now you’re on the fucking hook
Enjoy prison! It’s the closest thing to war
Being a civilian was just too much of a bore
You went stir crazy without your automatic
Now you can throw fists for free without causing any panic
The prison guards turn the other cheek
While your rape victims can’t shit right for a week
While their purple bruises show the cell block who loses
Their broken bones couldn’t hold partition phones
Enjoy prison! Your dinner tastes like diarrhea
It’s like every ration meal since the war in Korea
Maggots here, flies there, maybe some long hair
Taxes could provide better, but the state doesn’t care
But that’s okay, because it reminds you of war
You’re the baddest motherfucker in the whole damn Corps
All those pushups and burpees prepared you for combat
If a riot broke out, you’d get your ass right on that
Enjoy prison! What’re they going to do?
Bump it up to never-ever? You’re already screwed
You forgot about solitary, oops, you fucked up
Ask the warden for forgiveness, he’ll say, “Shut up!”
It’s just the darkness and what’s left of your mind
As it eats itself alive just like it did in wartime
Are those pills used to treat the worst parts of you?
No, they’re pebbles, but you can swallow those too
Enjoy prison! Because you’re never getting out
You’re a POW with not one escape route
SEAL Team Six ain’t coming to save you
Just be thankful for the medal Uncle Sam gave you
It could have been currency in the prison economy
But you killed all your trust with the bloody sodomy
All you’ve ever wanted was a license to kill
But all you’re killing is time, it stands perfectly still
