Jail

Locked in a cell
Four walls and an iron gate
Inside here you have no mates
Every inmate has their own brand of hate
All you can do is just sit and wait
Locked up with people who committed murder and rape
For goodness sake
I wish i could just smash my way through that gate
And then run away
I ain't got a single reason to stay
Inside this dungeon 24 hours a day
I was wrongly convicted but someone has to pay
Stuck on death row i cant find the words to say
Aw well tomorrow is my last day
Goodbye is all i can say
