Might As Well Be A Slave Lyrics

Lying here watching the time pass I could think of a million things I'd rather do Travel at my own pace Put myself asleep if I wanted to Chorus Might as well be behind bars Than be lashed to a wave that I can't haul Might as well be a slave Lying low in the shade of a prison wall Lying here watching the time pass I could cry for the helping hands that I refused We were good friends but I did refuse Chorus Might as well be behind bars Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call I might as well be a slave Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall Down here down where the end is You absolve me from every crime I ever planned I was so surprised I did not think that you would understand Chorus Might as well be behind bars Growing old in a carpeted hall O might as well be a slave Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls Might as well be behind bars Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call I might as well be a slave Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.
