“They drove me to it, man. I had to do it. It’s the system, they want to be so powerful, they make rules and they keep us all regimented and like totally helpless if they can.

And then they gave us all the lecture, man, you’re supposed to be like Hitler Youth and turn in your buddies if they’re bad. I didn’t have a choice, man. They drove me to it.”
