Dead Time Bummer Blues

I'm doing all this dead time

For the partaking of a plant

The earth says "help yourself"

But the law maintains I can't

Dead time, whoa, dead time

Doing the dead time bummer blues

I never hurt anyone

Or caused any sorrow

My cellmate stole a Cadillac

And she's going home tomorrow

Dead time, whoa, dead time

Doing the dead time bummer blues

Where is justice and liberty?

The law is blind, and cannot see

Where is justice and liberty?

Somebody help, please set me free

Where is justice and liberty?

The judge was blind, and could not see

Where is justice and liberty?

Somebody help, please set me free

It's such a drag just knowing

That the outside is so near

Can't help but ask this question:

"What the fuck am I doing here?"

Dead time, whoa, dead time

Doing the dead time bummer blues

Doing the dead time bummer blues

Doing the dead time, dead time bummer blues
