You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison

In the middle of a gun fight

In the center of a restaurant

They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"

Well, they're never gonna get me

Like a bullet through a flock of doves

To wage this war against your faith in me

Your life will never be the same

On your mother's eyes, say a prayer, say a prayer



[chorus]

Now, but I can't

And I don't know

How we're just two men, as God had made us

Well I can't, well I can

Too much, too late, or just not enough of this

Pain in my heart for your dying wish

I kiss your lips again



They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost

My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag

But nobody cares if you're losing yourself

Am I losing myself?

Well, I miss my mom

Will they give me the chair

Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare

Ah, nobody knows all the trouble I've seen



[chorus]



To your room

What they ask of you

Will make you want to say, 'So long'

Well, I don't remember

Why remember you



Do you have the keys to the hotel

Cause I'm gonna string this motherf*cker on fire (fire)



Life is but a dream for the dead

And well I, I won't go down by myself

But I'll go down with my friends

Now now now now...now now now...now now now!!
