Alone on the sidewalk, smoke in the air.
It should not be this way, but I guess, that fair is fair.
I tried to listen, all I heard was words.
What I hate is not the cards I’ve been dealt,
but the feeling it’s what I deserve.
If you asked me, what would I would change?
I would’ve spent a lot more time with the people I need today.
Chorus
This place is a prison, but I’ve got my spoon.
And if I keep diggin’, I know I’ll be out of here soon.
This place is a prison, but I’ve got my key.
Something’s gonna be missin’, whoa, it’s gonna be me.
Verse 2
Watching the moon rise in this December sky.
I can see the blessings in life, though at times I do my best not to try.
The creator that made me, He whispers in my ear.
Through the breeze and the trickling water I can hear as He appears.
So though I am beaten, and bound to the bone,
I’ll always keep my head held high, cause I know, this is not my home.
Chorus
This place is a prison, but I’ve got my spoon.
And if I keep diggin’, I know I’ll be out of here soon.
This place is a prison, but I’ve got my key.
Something’s gonna be missin’, whoa, it’s gonna be me.
Bridge
Whoa, whoa, this place is a prison.
Whoa, whoa, this place is a jail.
Whoa, whoa, this place is a prison.
And staying here’s to no avail.
