Escape Plan Lyrics
Yeah
Child by child or School by school
Building walls and learning rules
Steady job, a the lifetime deal
Everlasting healthy meal
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
My dear, I want you near
Steel door and concrete floor
Chorus:
Escape Plan,
that cannot fail.
I'm building,
my own jail
Better roof and ample proof
About existence of absolute truth
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Now just leave me be
Lock it up and throw away the key
Chorus
Building walls and learning rules
Steady job, a the lifetime deal
Everlasting healthy meal
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Steel door and concrete floor
Escape Plan,
that cannot fail.
I'm building,
my own jail
About existence of absolute truth
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Alcohol makes perfect bars
Lock it up and throw away the key

Should be "I'm buillding my own jail" This song is about being an alchoholic, alchohol makes perfect bars for his jail that he's building. But he built the jail himself, so his escape plan can't fail, because since it's his jail, he can leave whenever he wants (meaning he can stop drinking whenever he wants, but in reality he can't, because he's an alchoholic).
I think first line should be 'Child by child, school by school'.
And i don't actually think it's about being an alchoholic: just plain daily life in the world around and building walls to prevent this world from intrusion, which also makes impossible any (real) communication, hence the jail.
Always sounded to me like:
"Alcohol makes perfect BARDS"
You feel like you're getting better at your music by drinking.
