Lyrics

Hooks In You

Well I went out one Saturday night
Because my man wasn?t treatin? me right.
I had a few beers
I shed a few tears
And then I did some things that were not very bright.

I scored some coke in the ladies room
And did some lines with these girls in maroon.
They gave me some more
As I rolled on the floor
And they just kept on snortin?
And singin? this tune

They sang ??Ooh. We got our hooks in you.
We?ve got you in tow
? And we won?t let you go
Till we?re through
You?ll see it?s true
There?s a system
You?ll never understand
So just kick back, chill out.
Let it happen to you.

This guy outside was flashin? green.
He called his pickup
His ?hot, love-machine?
I jumped in the cab
And gave him a grab
And got arrested for possession and soliciting.

I tried to run but it was no use
I got so scared I threw up on his shoes.
He got out his cuffs
Oh he was so tough.
He even got a chance to cop a feel or two.
He sang,

?Ooh. we got our hooks in you.
You?re under arrest
And I can?t let you rest till I?m through.
You?ll see it?s true.
There?s a system
You?ll never understand.
So just relax, enjoy it.
There?s nothing you can do.?

So I called up this lawyer I know.
He only charges a thousand or so,
But it?s a split fee, when he sleeps with me.
That?s how I kept the cost of my divorce so low.

But he?s no good at criminal law.
So he called up his friend Mr. Small,
Who told me to plead to insanity.
I?d maybe get probation
And that would be all.
He sang,

?Ooh we got our hooks in you.
You?re not very bright
If you put up a fight
Then you?re through.
You?ve got no clue.
There?s a system
You?ll never understand.
So just shut up. Sit tight.
I?ll do the talking for you.?

The judge didn?t like my insanity plea.
Or else he decided that he didn?t like me.
He confirmed my worst fears
And gave me ten years,
Because I posed a threat to society.

And now I?m down in the big, state pen.
That?s where they keep all the miscreants in,
And yes all day long
The guards sing this song
The bullies on the cell block
All sing along.
They sing,

?Ooh, we got our hooks in you.
We?ll work you all day
Only we get to say
When you?re through.
You?ve seen it?s true.
There?s a system
You?ll never understand.
So just get back to work
There?s nothing that you can do.?
