The Offspring – Walla Walla Lyrics

Rock

One and two and three and four and
One and two and three and four and
One and two and three and four and
One and two and three and four and
Goodbye my friend, you messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
I guess no one told you how to get a life
The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a life
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
Well, I'll see ya
That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run but didn't get far
'Cause under your arm was a VCR
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
Well, I'll see ya
I'm innocent, I didn't do it
I didn't do nothing, man
This is bullshit
He just gave it to me, it-it was a present
Ho ho, not this time my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your twenty-four hour a day, constant companions
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others, oh
Well, I'll see ya
Well, I'll see ya
Have a nice life

    a few months ago my sister went to a small town in WA called Walla Walla. she described it as "the middle of nowhere" so i think this song is obviously about a person with no life ("you didnt get a life")

    I live not far from Walla Walla. It's not that small (it's actually a great little city), but that is where the WA State Penententiary is located (that's where serial killer Ted Bundy was put to death, Green River killer is there, among others). Not really sure what this song means tho... is he going to WA State Pen or Folsom? Not sure.
