 This place is a prison
 And these people aren't your friends
 Inhaling thrills through $20  bills
 And the tumblers  are drained and then flooded  again
 And again er  no  lyrics]
r  no  lyrics]
 Ther're guards at the on  ramps
 armed to the teeth
 And you  may case the grounds from the cascades  to puget sound,
 But  you are not permitted to leave
 I know there's a big world  out there like the one  i saw on the screen
 In my living room late  last night, It was almost  too bright to see
 And i know that it's not  a party if it happens  every night
 Pretending  there's glamour and candelabra
 When you're drinking  by candlelight
What  does it take  to get a drink in this place?
What  does it take,  how long must i wait?
What  does it take  to get a drink in this place?
What  does it take,  how long must i wait?
 how long must i wait?
