About the Artist
Lyrics
Japanese prisoner of love Leering at me from the bunk above The 7th circle of hell, right here in my cell Did you forget you are a prisoner as well? Sensual deprivations Human rights violations Enough is enough when shiv comes to shove Japanese prisoner of love I used to sleep in a comfortable bed with luxurious sheets I used to sit on a toilet with a seat And all the other jailbirds on E-wing Cry when I sing Japanese prisoner of love Sentenced and sent to the big house Jump-suited, shaven and deloused Solitarily confined, taken by force from behind By a stabby white supremacist named Klaus I used to think that my life was so sweet, but it's sour Oh, I used to be alone in the shower And all the other jailbirds on E-wing Cry when I sing Ooh-ooh-ooh Japanese prisoner of love And all the other jailbirds on E-wing Cry when I sing Japanese prisoner of love Love Japanese prisoner of love
