When lies serve as substitution A new twist on an old solution No cause no choice They took your freedom away The new rights gotta keep you guessing A Quick close with a signed confession No rights this fight Is how you're gonna pay A child's tear froma broken heart Another family's ripped apart And the streets are empty Down in Uniontown Just don't let them catch you out at night Nobody gets to have it all The lucky ones only take the fall It's a game and they picked your name And now you've been had You're just a player in a house of cards Pleading guilty to a lesser charge You're no good to anyone When you're doing time It's hard enough to stay alive Eighteen to twenty five Another town's locked into a slow decay With all it's young men they're locked away
