You was a kid, what did you know?
Mum threw you out to the rain and the snow
You came up tough, but it weren't enough to stop you going down
Against you the cards were stacked
Anything you said was a fucking fact
You did some crime, you weren't that wrong
They sent you down for fucking long
The world moves past your jail cell
This place is worse than hell
And on the outside they say it's fine
But none of them have ever done no time
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
How can you prove 'em wrong if no one even gave you a chance?
Between the cats and the gangs there ain't no place for you to hang
You spend your days in your bed, running phone calls through your head
They made examples out of you, but what did examples ever prove?
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
How can you prove 'em wrong if no one even gave you a chance?
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
You never thought your life would be gone in a blink
You went and lost your head now have time to think
How can you prove 'em wrong if no one even gave you a chance?
