Lyrics
THE DAY ROOM
Why don’t you just kill me now
You will in the end
You tell me you’re my only chance
Behave and we’ll be friends
In the Day Room
Finger paints and leg restraints
Thirty-minute walk in the hall
Single-file with no complaints
Just say nothing at all
Don’t ask so smart, don’t act so tough
Cuz it’s safer just to be crazy enough
Don’t respond if they call your name
Cuz the guards get nervous if you act too sane
In The Day Room
Day Room
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
In The Day Room
There behind the Day Room door
Wolf lies waiting for the slaughter
In The Day Room
Day Room
