Ian Paice - Time For Bedlam lyrics

[Spoken] Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane Never to be seen again Saying farewell to daylight From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave Ah, like a good little slave s**ing my milk from the venomous tit of the state This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape Ah, I surrender to fate [Chorus] No pity, no pity Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell I'll see you in hell See you in hell Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne With an army of bu*terflies pilloried placid and prone Ah, we were never alone [Chorus] No pity, no pity Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell I'll see you in hell [Spoken] After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarceration Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation I was justified
