Prison Lyrics

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 those lies? it lied
to me?". i said "i know, i know, i know. youve earned your right to
breathe. dont give it up. thats why you have to leave. you know your number is
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 winds. they took it all away and wont 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? and did she have a choice. ragged shoes on wet
cement, she talking to the king. only the peasant hears her voice. its just
noise. and when she hides her eyes shes sure that no one sees her standing by
the garbage cans finally alone. and when she shuts her mouth shes sure that no
one hears her screaming at all of those who say she cant go back to prison.
cant see his face, only yellow teeth. chewing on his tongue splitting easy
money. oh what an ugly man, he thinks hes beautiful. whats next, who knows, who
cares? is it an even trade, her time, his cash? descisions being made while
treasures turn to trash. and what is the value of a fine young mind when you
just cant see what you left behind? and why did her parents lie. they lied and
lied and lied and lied! they said "youll see whats right, youll see."
but you can only see whats wrong from below whats right. will she be there for
long? not without a fight. and when she hides her eyes shes in prison.
