Prison Blues Lyrics - Strength To Survive - Soja

These prison blues a standard issue 

Even when our shirts ain't blue 

We've got shake downs on a daily 

Shanks and ropes, she snitches too 

Those bars lockin' down a cell block 

Warden's yellin' down the hall 

Was you gonna make my prison thicker? 

Higher, sharper wall? 

(Chorus) 

I lift that hammer, hammer's heavy 

And let that fall upon a stone 

And let that shake these chains that bind me 

And build these walls I call my home 

I've got scars that poorly mended 

And I don't seem to fit no more 

Yet I wake myself each mornin' 

Just prepare for what's in store 

For what's in store for me

So tonight it's cold cold as bullets 

Keys walk up and down my tear 

Tell myself the end is coming soon 

To chase away the fear, 

That same fear that's got me drinkin' 

and put these tracks all down my arm 

That same fear's been inside me, ever since I was born 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Freedom's just a distant memory 

I lose more and more each day 

Can't forgive the man inside me 

My tranquility is gone 

Photos 

Every day's like every other (x3) 

Every day's like..let me out of here 

Let me out of here 

Let me out of here now
