You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison

In the middle of a gunfight In the center of a restaurant They say, "Come with your arms raised high" Well, they're never gonna get me Like a bullet through a flock of doves To wage this war against your faith in me Your life will never be the same On your mother's eyes, say a prayer Say a prayer, yeah Now, but I can't, and I don't know How we're just two men as God had made us Well, I can't, well, I can, yeah Too much, too late Or just not enough of this Pain in my heart for your dying wish I'll kiss your lips again They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag But nobody cares if you're losing yourself Am I losing myself? Well, I miss my mom Will they give me the chair? Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope, if you dare? Nobody knows all the trouble I've seen Now, but I can't, and I don't know How we're just two men as God had made us Well, I can't, well, I can, yeah Too much, too late Or just not enough of this Pain in my heart for your dying wish I'll kiss your lips again To your room What they ask of you will make you want to say, "So long" Well, I don't remember Why remember you? Do you have the keys to the hotel? 'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire Fire! Life is but a dream for the dead And well, I, I won't go down by myself But I'll go down with my friends Now, now, now, now (I can't explain) Now, now, now, (I can't complain) Now, now, yeah, yeah
