All I Can Tell
I'm raising hell
Locked in this jail cell.
I done nothing wrong
All I can tell,
They know it! Replying with
Oh well.
He's never proven innocent.
And never treated different
No respect no love.
Nothing but pain.
As it stains his brain.
Hear the nightstick
Hitting against the bars
The sound of loneliness.
Not even a wink from the stars.
