Old Man's Farm

They call this place a farm but no one does no growin
We're just markin time on ancient crimes and my age lines keep on showin
They keep us old men working for the deeds our young selves done
How can I serve three lifetimes if only got the one?

I came in vile and virile a punk without remorse
Pitchin dimes and crackin wise talked shit till I went horse
I spat and smoked and fantasized but I ain't in the throws
I'm a threat to society with low testosterone

You say I'm as guilty as hell for sure I done some harm
My mind is slowly fading like the tattoo on my arm
The governor will reject me despite my rugged charm
But it's a bitch to realize someday my guts will fertilize this god damn prison farm

Sun shines through my window and shoots between the bars
For ten thousand days in ten thousand ways I learned to count the hours
How'd it be if I were free? Well I got a hunch
That it be sweet to sit and eat what I choose for lunch

You say I'm as guilty as hell for sure I done some harm
My mind is slowly fading like the tattoo on my arm
The governor will reject me despite my rugged charm
But it's a bitch to realize someday my guts will fertilize this god damn prison farm

Word comes down the old mainline that someone's going home
He's not walkin out he done checked out and never got parole
We're left to build the casket, it's us who digs the grave
The preacher's in on a GTA but he swears his soul's been saved

You say we're guilty as hell for sure we done some harm
Our minds are slowly fading like the tattoos on our arms
The governor will reject us despite our rugged charm
But it's a bitch to realize someday our guts will fertilize this god damn prison farm
I said it's a bitch to realize someday our guts will fertilize this god damn prison farm
