Lockup Lunatics

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Deep in the heart of Ohio,

where the tower guards keep watch

We walk the endless corridors,

ticking seconds on the watch

No staff to run the housing unit,

the radio's a mess

Just another triple shift of pure administrative stress

Old Jimmy swallowed forty sporks to get a ride to town

The captain's on the telephone,

we're short-staffed and we're bound

Twelve hours is a luxury,

sixteen is our fate

Sign up for more training while you stand there at the gate

Put on the vest,

lock down the tier

(Oh yeah)

We laugh to keep from screaming through the absolute career

CCI!

We're holding down the line

In the mandatory overtime,

we're doing just fine

With the keys on our belt and the chaos on the floor

Who needs sleep when we're walking through the door? (CCI!)

They taught us forty ways to bend a wrist to keep control

But didn't teach us how to deal with ghosts inside the patrol

The inmate in cell seven says his mattress is a bird

Just another daily dose of everything absurd

CCI! We're holding down the line

In the mandatory overtime,

we're doing just fine

With the keys on our belt

and the chaos on the floor Who needs sleep when we're walking

through the door? (CCI!)

Just another day in paradise...

(hahaha) CCI!
