Are there any songs with lyrics that bother you? Of course there are. What about song lyrics that bother you, even though you know you have no good reason to be bothered by them? I'm not talking about milkshakes bringing boys to the yard, I'm talking about stupid petty stuff. Example:
I like Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak". Good song. But this bothers me, and I know it's a stupid reason to be bothered.
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
so don't you be around
Granted, it's not Thin Lizzy's greatest work or a huge attempt at deeper philosophical meaning, but what the fuck is "somewhere in the town"? I'm guessing if you and the boys are rounding up a posse to stop a jailbreak, it's probably not a very big town. There's probably only one jail. I'm also guessing you know where that jail is. So why are you wondering where the jailbreak is taking place? Suppose I'm wrong. Maybe these guys live in Manhattan and for some reason don't trust the police or guards to prevent this jailbreak, so they are getting a gang together to put a stop to it. Maybe there are dozens of jails in your town and you really don't know where this jailbreak is occurring. How many people do you have in your posse? Are you going to post one or two dudes at each jail, and then run to a pay phone when the prisoners start escaping? Your friends are going to end up face down in a pool of their own blood with a toothbrush sticking out of their back while you're yelling at the cabbie to step on it. Way to go, jerks. However, that's pretty unlikely because I imagine if you live in a huge city with several jails, if someone's telling you about a jailbreak they probably also have the intel as to which jail it's going down in. You either know what jail and when it's happening, or you're not in the loop. Which leads me to believe this is taking place in a small one jail town... so you idiots know exactly where it's going down. Put down the fucking map and go over to the jail and wait. Or better yet, tell the sheriff you drunk militia wannabes.
