Lyrics

It wasn't complicated
It was just done wrong
To get him to run
But it took him too long
He could be headed in his arms
Then he just couldn't see
The men behind him
No ball, no chain
No hammer from the judge
No deal, no trial
It's just an execution
Don't tell him
'Cause he doesn't wanna know
Know, know, know about it
I got no father
I couldn't connect
With confused reasons
Well, what could I expect?
Over the fence with his back to wall
I heard the gun and I heard him call
Yeah, I heard him call my name
A simple life
A simple man's luck
An opened door
Now he betrayed them, but for what?
But he would never
He'll never do it again
He'll never, never, never, never
A simple life
A simple man's luck
An opened door
Now he betrayed them
But he won't
And he will never
He'll never do it again
I bet you'll never
You'll never do it again, no
I said you'll never, never
You'll never do it again, no no no
Never, never
You'll never do it again
No
