A prison without bars
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Outside in ruthless city canyons
Rivers of people oveflow
Gunshots in the skyway valley madness
Ricochet as my mind starts to implode
Oh no, no
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
Everyday someones trying to sell me something
Through coloured images flashing on my t.v. screen
But my mind is stripped theres no reaction
I dont get what theyre saying to me no more
No more
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
(help me, help me)
Searchlights overhead staring down on me
Ive got a mountain of trouble to release
One day the hunter will be the hunted
Got my back up against the wall
Trapped in a prison without bars
Trapped in a prison without
Prison bars
Trapped in a prison without
Prison bars
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
Help me
Help me
Im trapped in a prison without prison bars
(help me)
