Despite the laughter from family and friends that lead to my dishonesty; I should have dated Michelle Middleton in high school....

'Civilized'
I'm sitting in my room in your prison doin' time
Bars on my windows 'cause you got so good at crime
You're standing on the corner with nothing in your head
Shirt on your back and a gun in your pants
Thinking you're the man but you're only a stand-in
Standing in line to be the next bad guy
I see what you do when you use what you got
But what do you do when you do what you want
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down
Getting your mind off some guy's record
He makes his money off fools like you
Singing about killing like it ain't no thing but
You do the time when you live it for real
Paying his way from your death row cell
You're the last one to see, you got sold out
I hear you say you hate pigs so much then
Why the hell do you act like one
Because you're civilized, you get brutalized
You're so civilized, man I see you get cut down
You're so civilized, you get brutalized
Yeah yeah yeah...
