They locked me up, put me away

Said, "You're gonna get out in forever and a day"

I didn't know what was going on

All I was doing was looking for fun

Forgot the reason, that's what I'm told

But you've gotta get it in before you get old

They thought they had me, had me for keeps

But they don't know this boy never sleeps

I'm back on the streets again

I'm back on my feet again

I'm On Parole, On Parole

On Parole, On Parole

I like laugh, I like a joke

It´s not my fault if my sense of humour broke

I tried to tell them I was sick

They said they think it was some kind of a trick

Alright, I would have done good

If they had listened to me like they should

I wouldn't have this loaded gun

Looking for a citizen to kill just for fun

I'm raising my sights again

I'm claiming my rights again

I'm On Parole, On Parole

On Parole, On Parole

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me before I kill somebody else!

You'd better watch out, you never know

Who's going to be the next to go

Night my friend, but it ain´t yours

Fixes the odds, evens the scores

Just turn around, I won´t go wrong

When he hits the ground I'll be long gone

They won´t suspect me, no not a soul

'Cos I'm a good boy, I'm On Parole

It's good to be free again

It's good to be me again

I'm On Parole, On Parole

On Parole, On Parole

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me now before I kill myself

Stop me now, or get somebody else
