Slightly bruised and a little bit used
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brother's bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Prison blues, gotta pay my dues
Now I know I'll never be refused

If I
If I
If I die inside,
Would anyone realize?

If I
If I
If I die inside,
Would anyone realize?
I lived a lie

Chains and stripes, I ain't gonna sleep tonight, this is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prison yard pavement
For the first time
So I serve time for my addiction
I pay the price for my affliction
The judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Lights out lock down, don't make a sound
Lights out lock down

Someone's behind the drum set in my head
Thumpin' a different beat myself to the sound of the walking dead
Rinse ‘n' repeat
Someone's behind the drum set in my head, in my head, head
