Lonnie Johnson - There Is No Justice Remastered

Текст песни

Now they put me in this jailhouse, twenty long years today,
And it’s drivin' me crazy, I’ve got thirty more years to stay.
The jailhouse, boy 's a lonesome place.
Especially when that turnkey, slams the door in your face.
Now they set me up for blackmail, and I can’t even sign my name.
Some dirty rat pulled this job, and I’ve got ta bare the blame.
I even killed my last dolla', the doors was a beggin' hand,
Then bad luck passed all the crooks and I had ta, be that fallin' man.
Boys I been laying in this death cell, writin' my time upside the wall.
When I had plenty of money I had friends, now I’m in trouble, ain’t got a
friend at all.
Boys, it’s a pity, but I sure can’t understand.
They said the judge is for justice, and still he framed an innocent man.
I was put in this cell, twenty long years ago.
Some poor men lives their time out, and some never lives to go.
