I see why people don't like this song, but I think the lyrics are quite good at capturing the atmosphere of what they intended. I think the "teenage jail" is the public education system."Stare out the window You can't make the time go You don't even know why you're here" screams a boring classroom to me. "waits for the weekend to go off the deep end" "somethings always for sale" high schoolers only care about appearances. Not a bad song IMO.
