PRISONER OF WAR

Deep in the night

Where the darkness glows
You learn the secrets

That nobody knows
Mornin’ will find you

Face down on the floor
Another true believer
Another prisoner of war

You gotta keep your eyes peeled

Or you can just lose it all

You gotta pick up on the clues

No matter how small

You gotta work all the angles

Like they were second nature to you
Because boy, that's only way

You'll ever make it through

You got chains on your hands
Chains on your feet

Locked inside a prison

Called the city street

A slave to your vices

A pimp to your whore

A self-made monster

A prisoner of war

But one of these days

When the air gets too thick

You'll find there's nothin’ left

In your little bag of tricks

Then you'll start thinkin’ thoughts
You never thought before

Facin’ down a death squad

Just like a prisoner of war
