When lies serve as substitution

A new twist on an old solution

No cause no choice

They took your freedom away



The new rights gotta keep you guessing

A Quick close with a signed confession

No rights this fight

Is how you're gonna pay



A child's tear froma broken heart

Another family's ripped apart

And the streets are empty

Down in Uniontown

Just don't let them catch you out at night



Nobody gets to have it all

The lucky ones only take the fall

It's a game and they picked your name

And now you've been had



You're just a player in a house of cards

Pleading guilty to a lesser charge

You're no good to anyone

When you're doing time



It's hard enough to stay alive

Eighteen to twenty five

Another town's locked into a slow decay

With all it's young men they're locked away
