You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison (2:52)
1,366,365 plays (185,739 listeners)
The song is about a man who is involved in a crime (“In the middle of a gunfight, in the center of a restaurant”). He believes that the police will be unable to catch him (“Well they’re never gonna get me, I’m like a bullet through a flock of doves”), but he is arrested and sent to prison. The rest of the song refers to prison life: “Will they give me the chair or lethal injection or swing from a rope if you dare.” This refers to the thoughts of the prisoner. The line, “What they ask of you will make you want to say ‘so long”’ refers to him contemplating suicide and may also refer to prison rape and other abuse also Bert McCracken of The Used provides backup vocals during the second verse of the song

What makes people think this is emo, if it was, they'd be talking about killing themselves and such. They'd also talk about the world rejecting them and labeling them as social outcasts for their actions.
