FINAL PAROLE
OJO 2004

Now it is here
the day has appeared
the time has finally come
they have to let me out
freedom and joy here I come
and I am sure in my heart
that I will never return to this living hell
locked away into a lonely prison cell
because it costs much too much
when you lose your freedom you lose everything
and they never listen
to the screaming or the begging
and crying for forgiveness
there are only 3 possible ways out

You can try to escape and end up shot in the back
you can take your own life and never be free
you can wait and wait and wait and when your time comes
they will have to let you out

Now it has come
my time to be released
and this time I have learned from my stupid mistakes
that crime does not pay in any way
and I will never again give them the pleasure
to slam the iron door and turn the key and lock
and to say no when you ask about the simplest thing
and to lie awake and listen to those poor souls
who can't stop screaming their lost brains out
and to see the blood almost every day in the shower room
when the rough ones have stabbed a snitch
or raped young innocent boys
now I am tired of living my life like this
I will never return to a place that repulses me like this
now I am giving all I got
because I want to be pleased with my life
before the day I die
and this time I feel that I will succeed
and if not
I will consider suicide next time
they lock me into a cell from hell

Now I am free
and I will never again act so stupid
that they will get any reason to lock me away any place
I have found a legal way to accept myself
and so can you
