inside this prison

it does no good to get angry
but it's the only emotion I know
I'd rather be sweet as rock candy
but trouble won't let me go
it's got a hold on me
that only I can see
I'm longing to be free
but that ain't happening
and it's eating me up inside
and there's no place I can hide

I got a fire inside my brain
and it just won't go away
I'd hitch a ride on a southbound train
I'd catch a freight today
to another land
where I can make my stand
and just be the man
that I know I am
it's making me insane
there's no need to remain
inside this prison
