SOJA - Prison blues - acoustic 2011 lyrics

These prison blues, a standard issue Even when our shirts ain't blue We've got shake downs on a daily These prison blues, a standard issue Even when our shirts ain't blue We've got shake downs on a daily Shanks, hooch, and snitches too Those bars lockin' down a cell block Warden's yellin' down the hall Was you gonna make my prison thicker? Higher, sharper wall? (Chorus) I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy And let that fall upon a stone And let that shake these chains that bind me And build these walls I call my home I've got scars that poorly mended And I don't seem to fit no more Yet I wake myself each mornin' Just prepare for what's in store For what's in store for me So tonight it's cold as bullets Keys walk up and down my tear Tell myself the end is coming soon To chase away the fear That same fear that's got me drinkin' And put these tracks all down my arm That same fear's been inside me, ever since I was born (Repeat Chorus) Freedom's just a distant memory I lose more and more each day Can't forgive the man inside me My tranquility is dead Every day's like every other (x3) Every day's like..let me out of here Let me out of here Let me out of here now Let me go, no you won't, you say so Just let me out of here Just let me go far away And never return, not one day Just let me out
