Lyrics

[Intro]

Mmm

No, no, no, no, oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

I'm in chains, you're in chains, too

I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms, too

I'm a prisoner, you're a prisoner, too

Mr. Jailer

Oh, I have fears, you have fears, too

I'll die, but you sef go die, too

Life is beautiful, don't you think so, too?

Mr. Jailer

[Chorus]

I'm talkin' to you, Jailer

Stop callin' me a prisoner

Let he who is without sin

Be the first to cast the stone

Mr. Jailer, Mr. Jailer man

[Verse 2]

You suppress all my strategies

You oppress, whoa, every part of me

What you don't know, you're a victim, too

Mr. Jailer

Oh, you don't care about my point of view

If I die, another will work for you

So you treat me like a modern slave

Mr. Jailer

[Chorus]

I'm talkin' to you, Jailer

Stop callin' me a prisoner

Let he who is without sin

Be the first to cast the stone

Mr. Jailer, Mr. Jailer man

[Verse 3]

You see, if you're walking in the marketplace

Don't throw stones

Even if you do, you just might hit

One of your own

Life is not about your policies

All the time

So you better rearrange your philosophies

And be good to your fellow man, Jailer

[Chorus]

Stop callin' me a prisoner

Let he who is without sin

Be the first to cast the stone

Mr. Jailer

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm talkin' to you, Jailer

Stop callin' me a prisoner

Let he who is without sin

Be the first to cast the stone

Mr. Jailer, Mr. Jailer

[Verse 4]

I heard my baby say, "I wanna be president

I want your money for my government"

What he don't know, what he won't know

What he can't know

Jailer, Jailer

[Outro]

Oh, be good o, be good o, be good, o

Somebody be good o, be good o, be good

Oh, be good o, be good o, be good o

Jailer, Jailer
