[Verse 1]
Looking back on a past when we still had the chance
We were pawns in a game that we could not win
Now we're alone just a pick and a stone
We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
[Verse 2]
Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
We count the days and nights
We're paying with our lives
We're paying for our wrongs
Singing a prisoner's song
Singing a prisoner's song
[Verse 7]
Looking back on a past when we still had the 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
Hey, ho
Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
