lyrics

Oh, to pace back and forth
Find a comfortable place
But the cells ain't crackin' at their seams
No sea of tranquility
Sprouting from the desert, locking us up
Prisons for private profit goals
Nightmares relieve the hell
Of life in this 8 x 10 foot hole

Seen a hundred thousand morning smiles
Traveled more and more of those morning miles
Seen my eyes run their rainy course
Heard my ears tell me it just gets worse
Be careful of their eyes
As you look under their skin

Fell asleep to the sound of gulls
Making a nest where their young, their young could grow
Saw a thousand ways to spend the night
Thousands of little wounds to slow them in their might
Be careful of that might
As you tear off their skin

Oh to glide back and forth
Up where mountains pierce the sky
On a curvy swervy road through capitalism
Lies a place where justice gathers
And screams out free.
