Title: Prisoners

Lyrics Prisoners

All of the prisoners serving life sentences wait for the earth to suddenly shake
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling
And for the bars to somehow magically break

Oh, there's nothing wrong with them
That a thousand bucks can't fix
That a thousand arms can't hold down
In the ground they're tattooing the stones
With cusses like cavemen
Yo mama was here

But they wanna run through the air with no barriers or obstacles
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
With the people all dead
Ah ah-ah ah-ah

If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
Then none of this shit would have ever gone down
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with mermaids and swallows
And though I do swallow
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little
And someday I will remember
Someday I will remember
Someday I will remember
