Young Offender

Sitting in central booking
My future's in their hands
They call me a young offender
Maybe that's just what I am
Young offender life is cheap
Young offender future's bleak
Young offender off our street
'Cause your crimes, you will repeat

Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
I'm standing with one foot in the grave

A life of crime, we're doing time
These schools feel just like jail
They pretend to teach, we pretend to learn
The system's set for us to fail

Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
Our future's one foot in the grave
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

How much can you stomach
How much bullshit can you take
They cancel social assistance
They hate us, we hate them
We're living in dangerous times
Where life & death is cheap
Young offender on the street
Keep on moving to the beat

Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
Give us all a quick death
My future's one foot in the grave

Oh
