Behind Bars

So, because you see me behind the bar

You’ve already called me a felon from afar

You didn’t care what could’ve ended me up here

In your innocent mind, you don’t want to go there

Do you think anyone imprisoned is insane?

Or you think everyone in prison is the same?

What if I told you that I don’t deserve this

Cos in here, there’s no joy, it’s like abyss

 

What if I told you that I was accused a liar

Or that I’m here cos I couldn’t hire a lawyer

Or I am here because they think I killed him

They think I’m evil, vicious, theif and a crim

 

I didn’t plan to spend the days of my life In this place

Neither do I want to live the rest of my life in disgrace

All I need is my innocence to be known

Justice served, then get out of this zone.
