You Reek of Fresh Rehabilitation

You are much different,
From the kind of person...
I heard you are and would be.

'Don't worry about it.
There are a lot of people I haven't met,
I don't like either.

Socially I rely upon rumors.
Few take the time to get to know anyone.
And with the rumors and gossip as good as they are today...
Why bother?
Who do you know sits around without something juicy to share?
Everybody seems to be riding on a downslide.'

But you don't have to participate!

'Oh please please please!
You reek of fresh rehabilitation.
Were you 'just' released from prison? '
