New Model Army - Prison Lyrics
The curtain breathes, the air swimsThe sweat dries cold on the shivering skinThe sheets they twist and turn again, round and roundMy mother she feeds and cares for meShackled to responsibilityAll her precious dreams for me crashing downCh: Tell them all to go away, tell them all I'll be OKTell them all just not today, not today . . .They're building special facilitiesLaboratory animals die for meI live with my humility - humilityNovember 1989, they're dancing on the Berlin Wall tonightI feel the flow of history and have no partCh: Tell them all to go away, tell them all I'll be OKTell them all just not today, not today . . .A little night in town we said - oh I remember very wellThey'll be out of prison soon and me I'm locked forever in this . . .I went for my mother to a holy shrineThe wheelchairs rattled through the afternoonOver the cobbles and up the hillIn an ordered procession of desperate willIt hurts just the way it hurts todayThose moments come, then recede awayBetter to accept what you cannot changeThe less the pain . . .Ch: Tell them all to go away, tell them all I'll be OKTell them all just not today, not today . . .
