Doin' Time Lyrics

They tell me that the sun comes up every morning
They tell me that there's people out on the street
But why is life so cruel? [He's doin' time]

They tell me man, he tops the list in creation
He takes his place as uncrowned king of the world
But why is man so cruel? [He's doin' time]
[Ain't it a crime?]

Oh, Prince of Peace
We need you now
Give us a sign
To show us how

Locked in her room
The lover mourns her betrayer [It's such a shame, he took the blame]
Seems even Love possesses Treachery, too
But how can love be cruel? [He's doin' time]
[He's doin' time, ain't it a crime]
[It's such a shame, he took the blame]

Seems this old world
Has lost its way
On such a torn
And troubled day

Locked in her room
The lover mourns her betrayer [He's doin' time, ain't it a crime]
Seems even Love possesses Treachery, too
[It's such a shame, he took the blame]

But how can love
But how can love
But how can love be cruel? [He's doin' time]
[He's doin' time]
