Prison Lyrics by ALL

Allroy Saves

0

Mommy and Daddy had a lock and key
So she went over the wall, and she was finally free
She wants to know, "Why did the TV tell the lies it lied to me?"

It said, "I know, I know
I know you've earned your right to breathe
Don't give it up
That's why you have to leave
You know your number's up"

Emptied her pockets on an ugly road
Why did nothing grow when the seeds were sown?
And why did the water turn the soil into mud?

Big plans, fat chance
Small minds took it all away
And won't give it back
Now you have to stay
I-told-you-sos attack

Was it fate or dumb mistakes that made things like they are?
Ooh, and did she have a choice?
Ragged shoes on wet cement, she's talking to the king
Only the peasant hears her voice
It's just noise

And when she hides her eyes (when she hides her eyes)
She's sure that no one sees her
Standing by the garbage cans, finally alone

Or when she shuts her mouth (when she shuts her mouth)
She's sure that no one hears her
Screaming at all of those who say she can't go back to prison

Can't see his face, only yellow teeth
Chewing on his tongue, spitting easy money
Oh, what an ugly man, he thinks he's beautiful

What's next, who knows, who cares?
Is it an even trade?
Her time, his cash
Decisions being made while treasures turn to trash

And what is the value of a fine young mind
When you just can't see what you left behind?
And why did her parents lie?
They lied and lied and lied and lied

They said, "You'll see what's right, you'll see"
But you can only see what's wrong
From below what's right
Will she be there for long?
Not without a fight

And when she hides her eyes (when she hides her eyes)
She's sure that no one sees her
Standing by the garbage cans, finally alone

Or when she shuts her mouth (when she shuts her mouth)
She's sure that no one hears her
Screaming at all of those who say she can't go back to prison

When she hides her eyes (when she hides her eyes)
When she hides her eyes (when she hides her eyes)
She's in prison
