They put me in the jailhouse
|
they take away my money
|
treat me like a white mouse
|
man that isn't funny
|
lock the door and throw away the key
|
no one is allowed to comfort me
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
let me see the daylight
|
make them stop the bleeding
|
can't you see it ain't right
|
|
Put me on the chain gang
|
and work me till I can't stand
|
say it's for my brother
|
they treat me like a martyr
|
|
Put me in a false society
|
make me something I don't want to be
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
and let me see the daylight
|
make them stop the bleeding
|
can't you see it ain't right
|
|
break:
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
let me see the daylight
|
make them stop the bleeding
|
can't you see it ain't right
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
and let me see the daylight
|
make them stop the bleeding
|
and can't you see it ain't right
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
let me see the daylight
|
and make them stop the bleeding
|
can't you see it ain't right
|
|
Give me back my freedom
|
Give me back my freedom
|
Give me back my freedom
|
