Bars Lyrics - Live '84 - Black Flag

There was a girl I knew 

She saw the prison inside 

She cursed her keeper 

And swore she'd get free 

Every time I see 

I got my hands wrapped around the bars 

I want out right now 

She led an angel's life 

On angel's wings 

Jumped out her apartment window 

And hit the street below 

Every time I see 

I got my hands wrapped around the bars 

I can't shut off my mind 

And now I've waited, my hands are wrapped around the bars 

I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars 

The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies 

Are trapped behind the bars 

My mind hates my body 

My body hates my soul 

I close my eyes and fight 

Inside my own black hole 

Every time I see 

I got my hands wrapped around the bars 

I want out right now! 

I've lived my life 

I'm doing my time 

I realize life's lie 

Every time I see 

I got my hands wrapped around the bars 

I can't shut off my mind 

And now I'm waiting, my hands are wrapped around the bars 

I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars 

The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies 

They're trapped behind my eyes
