The Postal Service - This Place Is A Prison w/ Lyrics

Song: The Postal Service - This Place Is A Prison

i went into more of a sensitive subject for this video. i think this song fits perfect about the issues that are burning up in the news.

LYRICS:

This place is a prison
And this people aren't your friends
Inhaling thrills through $20 bills
And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again
And again

Ther're guards at the on ramps armed to be 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?

Now that we apparently have censorship this is the sing we'll sing

[Dessaliciouss]

@seeitisme geezus you're right.. i'm about to tumblr about it...



[Soldierman088]

amazing work, and i am not sure if you did this on purpose, but the contrast between celebrities/politicans and soldiers/poor people is amaizing

[Dessaliciouss]

@Soldierman088 i really appreciate your compliments! and yes i did want to show a contrast in EVERYONE, because we're all human and we get caught up in our own lives and forget. We make this world... not just one person can make a difference, we all can.

[Invisiblefiyah]

i know a lot of you are goin through the same shit as i am, probably worse, but in any case i still wuv you. you have friends among youtube comments, and you wont have to wander the darkness alone anymore.

[Dessaliciouss]

I really wish this song would be put on The Hunger Games soundtrack.



[Alphabetlife]

I've been listening to this for hours straight

[MsBitch56]

When I hear the beat, I hear snow crunching under combat boots. I love it.
