Prison Dont Work
I have been in your prisons
I played the game
I know about loneliness
I felt the pain
Being banged up, 23 hours a day
This is good for no-one
It can drive you insane
The strong will live
And the weak can die
You say its rehabilitation
I know that is a lie
Men getting bullied, the strong will survive
You did not brake me
I will not die
where is the job
As I now want to work
But no-one wants criminals
I now feel a jerk
Kids need to learn before its to late
As I wish I had when I walked out the gate
life is a struggle, it really is rough
But I should have thought about that, when I thought I was tough
