brown bags - ernest goes to jail lyrics

[intro]
he never put up a fight
and now he’s got to pay the price
he’s in the state penitentiary
doing twenty+to+life

[verse 1]
he knows he dug himself into this hole
but everything will be alright if he
just waits for parole
the nights are as empty
as the days are long
but, he’d better if he knew what it was he did wrong
unsure if he’s guilty
but it can’t be helped
because whatever the reason
he knows he brought it all on himself
[refrain]
he finds familiar comfort
living in between walls (walls)
but a tiny voice keeps whispering
“this isn’t living at all, all.”
does the life he’s waiting for exist only in dreams?
his shoulders sag
and he lowers his head
and he screams

[verse 2]
“i won’t offer a plea! i won’t offer a plea! i won’t offer plea!
i won’t, i won’t!
there’s only one way out
and i hold the key
i gotta get off my knees! i gotta get off my knees!
i gotta get off my knees!
get off! get off!
there’s only one way out and i hold the key!”

[refrain]
he lifts his head from his hands
decides he doesn’t want to sit
alone in an empty cell for a
crime he didn’t commit
inhales deeply and counts to three
rips the bars out from the wall
he was out, but he wasn’t free
you see, the guards were waiting
armed with billy clubs and mace
and one had a .45 pointed right at his face
[verse 3]
but when the dust had settled
he was the only one left to stand
the warden stepped out from the shadows
and put up his hands
he said
“i’m sorry we kept you here when you were never at fault
but now that you’ve done your time
we forgive your brazen assault.”
well our hero’s eyes narrowed
he felt his heart begin to harden
and when it finally turned to stone he said

[refrain]
“i don’t need your f+cking pardon!”

[outro]
[instrumental]
