SO THEY HAVE DONE
OJO 2004

I can not close my eyes and rest
because I am someplace between
life and death
inside this white room with a yellow door
and a sick sick green floor
and my window is made of panzer glass
covered by steel bars

Present time
this is my life
inside a prison cell

I can not sleep well anymore
because my dreams are too deep to understand
and that scares the living hell out of me
because I used to know myself pretty well
but all what I knew
disappeared the day they locked me in
into this psychedelic place filled with rage
and all in the name of democratic liberty
it is all they can hide behind

I can not see the end of this long road
they say that I have to finish travelling
to save myself
from the temptations of society around us
but all I can feel in my cold heart
is that I am on my way to destruction and nothing else
they say and tell me every day
there will come a time when you wake up and understand
but I know it so well today
they have taken my whole life away

I know that I have done something illegal
but what is a fair punishment
when the things that have been going on
had nothing to do with people who said no I don't
want to get stone on marihuana or hash
just get rid of the trash

I can not close my eyes and rest anymore
because there is no peace to find
in this so-called correction facility area
all that I can do is to try to convince my confused mind
that time will go fast and that they will let me out
at last
