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
