They put me in the jailhouse

They take away my money

Treat me like a white mouse

Man that isn't funny

Lock the door and throw away the key

No one is allowed to comfort me



Give me back my freedom

Let me see the daylight

Make them stop the bleeding

Can't you see it ain't right



Put me on the chain gang

And work me till i can't stand

Say it's for my brother

They treat me like a martyr



Put me in a false society

Make me something i don't want to be



Give me back my freedom

And let me see the daylight

Make them stop the bleeding

Can't you see it ain't right



Break:



Give me back my freedom

Let me see the daylight

Make them stop the bleeding

Can't you see it ain't right



Give me back my freedom

And let me see the daylight

Make them stop the bleeding

And can't you see it ain't right



Give me back my freedom

Let me see the daylight

And make them stop the bleeding

Can't you see it ain't right



Give me back my freedom

Give me back my freedom

Give me back my freedom
