You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
So here we are again, it's like dj vu Tryin' to work out if I've been tellin' the truth The courtroom's the same, but the jury's changed And the judge is a she, not a he Still they all look the same to me, yeah
It's just like it was, when I was here before 'Cept my ex ain't here in the gallery showin' me support And that breaks my heart, 'cause I love her no doubt Still I know a song, I can sing if I ever get out But the chances of that even with this new evidence Comin' to light don't change the fact
An innocent man went down first time Man, I'd be a fool to put my faith in them Only to be misplaced again I remember how my heart felt breakin' then It don't wanna feel that hate again Just do your worst 'cause it won't break again
You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
Yeah, I've been through the wars, up in that jail What you got to do is look at the scars On my face to know that I've been through hell But I'm still breathin', yeah, that's right I'm still here I survived through the darkest days In the darkest place, from my darkest fears
Ain't nothin' you can do to me Ain't already done 'cept shootin' me And people havin' a pop ain't nothin' new to me That's what used to go on usually When I stay too long in one place Will I get this new face by many more fights?
How different would things be now If I'd just made it home that night Ain't even worth thinkin' about What's done is done, you can't change the past
Just please stop torturin' me And make a decision, that's all I ask 'Cause I'm ready to accept my fate Whatever the outcome of this case The only thing I can't stand is the wait So hurry up already and decide today
You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do You can set me free or bang me up Just stop torturin' me, tell me What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
When you gonna make up your minds? I've been here for hours now And I still ain't got a clue what you got in line
Are you gonna send me back Through the prison gates like you did before? Or are you gonna set me free And let me live my life and know the score?
