Prisoner's Song

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

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

We're paying for our wrongs

Singing a prisoner's song

Singing a prisoner's song

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
