Prison

Life is a prison

And you're trapped in it

You've got a life sentence

So you haven't got much spirit

You know you're stuck

And there's no way out

But for some reason

You can't sit about

You try to fix

This mess of a life

But you know you can't

Not even with a knife

So you look out the bars

Plea with the guards

You beg and beg

You play all your cards

You know it won't work

They'll never let you go

But you try and try

To see the rainbow

In the middle of the night

You try to escape

Through the metal bars

But it wasn't your fate

You're an oldie now

After years of trying

You haven't got long to go

And it leaves you crying

But life's a prison

And you've been trapped in it

You had a life sentence

And you've served your bit.
