A place called Section 3 A place where they held you and me They told us many times That this is where it all resides But we got small in there And hardly anybody dared To challenge status quo That isn't done here don't you know We bought it for a while Until our bellies filled with bile With poison all around And with our psyches breaking down Decided that we'd quit Decided we don't give a **** And so we walked away Still gone until this very day Instead we follow dreams We're so much better now it seems So good that we are free From the place called Section 3

Section 3
A place called Section 3 A place where they held you and me They told us many times That this is where it all resides But we got small in there And hardly anybody dared To challenge status quo That isn't done here don't you know We bought it for a while Until our bellies filled with bile With poison all around And with our psyches breaking down Decided that we'd quit Decided we don't give a **** And so we walked away Still gone until this very day Instead we follow dreams We're so much better now it seems So good that we are free From the place called Section 3
In the movie "The Hurricane", Rubin Carter tells his friend Lesra; "it's very important that we transcend the places that hold us." You'll know it's time to move when the pain of staying for the wrong reasons out weighs the pain of change.
