Penitentiary Bound

Whatever I do
Is whatever I want to do
And whatever I think comes true
I'm always looking for something new
And just like I've been saying every single day since I wore this suit
Every single day I swore we'd eventually be
Penitentiary bound
And just like me
You be whatever you want to be
And see whatever you think you see
And take whatever you like for free
And just like I've been saying every single day since I wore this suit
Every single day I swore we'd eventually be
Penitentiary bound
True, these walls won't up and disappear
Stop wondering why . . .
We're stuck inside
It's not at all where we planned to be
I guess I blame it on you and me
We don't deserve to be so free, you see
And just like I've been saying every single day since I wore this suit
Every single day I swore we'd eventually be
Penitentiary bound
