The Pen
Me and all these innocent men
Are just sittin' here rottin' in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
I didn't shoot nobody
It wasn't even my gun
Old Jimmy didn't ever steal nothing
He just likes to run
My man Jack ain't into drugs
There ain't no way he had crack
Sure he liked to drink a lot
But there ain't no crime in that
Life just ain't been fair to us
Some folks just get all the luck
Some folks sip tea from fine china
Some sip water from dirty tin cups
Me and all these innocent men
Are just sittin' here rottin' in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
Me and all these innocent men
Are just sitting here rotting in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
Are just sittin' here rottin' in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
I didn't shoot nobody
It wasn't even my gun
Old Jimmy didn't ever steal nothing
He just likes to run
My man Jack ain't into drugs
There ain't no way he had crack
Sure he liked to drink a lot
But there ain't no crime in that
Life just ain't been fair to us
Some folks just get all the luck
Some folks sip tea from fine china
Some sip water from dirty tin cups
Me and all these innocent men
Are just sittin' here rottin' in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
Me and all these innocent men
Are just sitting here rotting in the pen
Ain't none of us done that stuff they say
How'd we end up with steel doors holding us in?
