Dropkick Murphys - Prisoner's Song
.
Looking back on a past when we still had a chance
We were pawns in a game that we could not win
Now we're alone, just a pick and stone
We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
.
Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
.
Hey, ho, a prisoner's song
(Pawns in a game that we could not win)
Hey, ho, a prisoner's song
(Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in)
.
A prisoner to my thoughts, a number and a cell
Locked up like a dog in this worldly hell
Marching along, another man on the gang
I'm shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain
.
Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain
.
Hey, ho, a prisoner's song
(Marching along, another man on the gang)
Hey, ho, a prisoner's song
(Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain)
.
We count the days and nights
We're paying with our lives
