Four Walls

Please, please
Release me
From this prison
That I built
It's got four walls
Some bars
And a toilet

I used to be the warden
Now I'm just a number
They beat me senseless every night and day

I catch rats for my food
I'm alone and destitute
And I pray death will soon come my way

When I was a warden
I was even worse
Tar n' feather prisoners for fun

I threw snakes in their cells
And I laughed at their ills
Made their lives a living Hell on this earth

Please, please
Release me
From this prison
That I built
It's got four walls
Some bars
And a toilet

Oh I know that I deserve
Exactly what I got
No one but myself left to blame

How could I not see
That they would mutiny
I paid the price for playin' the Devil's game

Please, please
Release me
From this prison
That I built
It's got four walls
Some bars
And a toilet
