PRISONS, PRISONS
I BEEN IN PRISON ALL MY LIFE!
DIFFERENT KINDS OF JAILERS, THAT’S ALL!
SOME WITH BARS,
SOME WITH STARS,
SOME WITH PRETTY BARE SHOULDERS
AND SOFT BROWN ARMS.
ONE USE A TIME CLOCK TO KEEP ME STRAIGHT,
ANOTHER USES A THIRTY-EIGHT!
BUT THE WEAPON KEEPS ME ON THIS ROCK PILE,
IS THE TWIST OF A HIP AND A FAITHLESS SMILE!
