upstate

send me upstate
send us upstate
see friends we might like that
my friends might like that

we'll never be late
we'll never be late
those halls are like train tracks
I swear we might like that

at least upstate
there's the illusion of telling all the inmates from the guards,
and the cell blocks from the yards,
and you can run but you know well that
those who run don't make it very far

I'll write every day
I'll write every day
and smoke a whole soft pack
I really would like that

we'll get into shape
we'll get into shape
situp my six pack
curl up my bicep

at least upstate
there's the illusion of telling all the inmates from the guards,
and the cell blocks from the yards,
and you can run but there's no point cuz
those who run don't make it very far

and no one will say
you punks have it made
cuz we live in a deathtrap
we really would like that

and no one can say
we're faking our way
I really would like that
I really would like that

cuz at least upstate
there's the illusion of telling the inmates from the guards
and workhouse from the yards
and running's just for suckers we know
those who run they never make it far
