Prison Song

Rattlin' chains, walk down your street
I been a sinner so please pray for me
Blood on my hands, won't ever wash clean
Two thousand volts 'til I'm finally free

I been a drifter on concrete I sleep
Red and blue lights always following me
Ain't got no money, no place to be
No one who cares, ain't got no family but
I love my city, my city love me

Cigarette butts, and putrified meat
Alleyway blues, but dining is free
Beg for loose change, oh anything please
Spend it on booze, for some sweet relief

Back of the drugstore down on seventeenth
Singin' my songs, and drinking whiskey
Found there a woman bloodied and beat
Ain't got no pulse so I take her money
I love my city, she provide for me

Wake the next day, cop standin' over me
Take me downtown, for some questioning
My fingerprints, all over the scene
No one believes that it wasn't me

Courtroom abuzz, I'm making my plea
Bang of the gavel judge says I'm guilty
Scum and a stain, on society
Jury delivers the death penalty
I love my city, my city kill me

Rattlin' chains, walk down your street
I been a sinner so please pray for me
Blood on your hands, won't ever wash clean
Two thousand volts and I'm finally free
