Behind Bars

Reviewing events in my life day after long day

For the things I have done I should certainly pay

Being myself and seemingly going against the grain

Worrying about others and hearing them complain

For being oblivious of selfish schemes of another

Losing all I had, with no chance at all to recover

For trusting in others and believing all that they say

Yes, for being so ignorant I certainly need to pay

I belong behind bars for trusting in a wicked society

Not realizing every single person thinks me, me, me

For thinking that love gets you through sunshine and rain

Now, I understand love is just a means for personal gain

Everyone will pay and I am ready to begin this very day

I’ll put myself behind bars to wash my lingering guilt away

Being behind those bars will keep me from showing scorn

Yes, behind bars, whether ape hangers, drag, or buckhorn
