Might As Well Be A Slave

Lying here watching the time pass

I could think of a million things i'd rather do

Travel at my own pace

Put myself asleep if i wanted to



Chorus



Might as well be behind bars

Than be lashed to a wave that i can't haul

Might as well be a slave

Lying low in the shade of a prison wall



Lying here watching the time pass

I could cry for the helping hands that i refused

We were good friends but i did refuse



Chorus



Might as well be behind bars

Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call

I might as well be a slave

Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall



Down here down where the end is

You absolve me from every crime i ever planned

I was so surprised i did not think that you would understand



Chorus



Might as well be behind bars

Growing old in a carpeted hall

O might as well be a slave

Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls



Might as well be behind bars

Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call

I might as well be a slave

Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.
