I'm doing all this dead time For the partaking of a plant The earth says "help yourself" But the law maintains I can't Dead time, whoa, dead time Doing the dead time bummer blues I never hurt anyone Or caused any sorrow My cellmate stole a Cadillac And she's going home tomorrow Dead time, whoa, dead time Doing the dead time bummer blues Where is justice and liberty? The law is blind, and cannot see Where is justice and liberty? Somebody help, please set me free Where is justice and liberty? The judge was blind, and could not see Where is justice and liberty? Somebody help, please set me free It's such a drag just knowing That the outside is so near Can't help but ask this question: "What the f** am I doing here?" Dead time, whoa, dead time Doing the dead time bummer blues Doing the dead time bummer blues Doing the dead time, dead time bummer blues
