They locked me up for nothin'
And kept my cage a'rockin'
In the end, I was given no rest
I pled my case for innocence
I swore my deadly vengeance
For all evil I was made, made to ingest
Railroaded through denial
Sentenced in a kangaroo trial
Where the legal lines get blurred
Twenty years of my life stolen
I swore, and this kid ain't rollin'
I always keep my, I keep my word
Chorus:
It's
been a lifetime of tit-for-tat
I
would't wish anyone this-for-that
And
baby, it sure ain't easy to get
From
where I've been, to where I'm at
From
where I've been, to where I'm at
From where I've been, to where I'm
at
Verse:
Their Southern Justice was served
The punishment wasn't deserved
Only God knows how we got away
The clock's beats are a'drummin'
And the times, they are a'comin'
The bounty-man'll sure earn, sure earn his pay
Scapegoats and stool pigeons
Too many chiefs and no Indians
The Devil'll see them all rot in hell
All good men detest the unjust
In'da end one does what one must
And I hear the tolling, the tolling of the bell
Chorus:
It's
been a lifetime of tit-for-tat
I
would't wish anyone this-for-that
And
baby, it sure ain't easy to get
From
where I've been, to where I'm at
From
where I've been, to where I'm at
From where I've been, to where I'm
at
