Institution Lyrics

Halt the truck at hell's iron house

Throw the latch herd the fresh meat out

Crushed up tight in a long line of maniacs

Firebugs, perverts and slack jawed louts

Lined up two by two along the wall

Heads are counted and numbers called

Small man's rags sunk down around my shins

Between two great apes dribbling about ten foot tall

Warden stalks the halls stoking fear

Drags his rod with that sadist's sneer

Hauls the deviants from the throngs

Down the hole of darkness and silent drear

Served up rat milk and rancid meat

By a coon with twelve absent teeth

Watch your back when you're around of bogs

Time is hard and your ass is going cheap

Marched out back to the beaten flat

Bolt like pigs from a rifle crack

Round and round in an endless ring

Until hamstrings tear and our ankles snap

Until the bell tolls the day is late

Meet you out by the boundary gate

Wipe the blood and shit from my eyes

Home to a glass of milk and chocolate cake
