William Farquarson - Four Walls (The Ballad of Perry Smith) lyrics

[Verse 1] These four walls to keep you One floor to sleep upon and only These four walls to keep you These four walls contain you Suppose to save you from yourself and These four walls in Holcomb To keep you from the sun [Pre-Chorus] And now we're faced with two wrongs Now we're faced with two wrongs I don't know, oh, I don't know Now we're faced with two wrongs Now we're faced with two wrongs I don't know, oh, I don't know [Chorus] We could be born to anything and now what, now what? What you have done is terrible, and now you, and now you Now you carry it with you You carry it with you You carry it with you [Verse 2] These four walls will keep you Until you face the rope You've only these four walls before they, in cold blood, hang you up [Pre-Chorus] And now we're faced with two wrongs Now we're faced with two wrongs I don't know, oh, I don't know Now we're faced with two wrongs Now we're faced with two wrongs I don't know, oh, I don't know [Chorus] We could be born to anything and now what, now what? What you have done is terrible, and now you, and now you Now you carry it with you You carry it with you You carry it with you (Now you carry it with you Carry it with you Carry it with you) [Bridge] There's no view from here No view from here, no view from here All you see's the sky Clouds pa**ing by, clouds pa**ing by [Chorus] We could be born to anything and now what, now what? What you have done is terrible, and now, and now Now you carry it with you You carry it with you You carry it with you Now you carry it with you You carry it with you You carry it with you Now you carry it with you You carry it with you You carry it with you [Outro] This is a collect call from Kansas State Penitentiary: "Being brought up one way and trying to see another way is very difficult"
