The Cell Songtext

von Leslie West

There was a time when I was young, I used to dream
Bad livin' high in the hill and living like a king
Through the years I remember my living in the streets
"If you ain't got what it takes, take everything you need"

Ma, would you love me?
I couldn't see for now I believe
Taking what's not yours is a serious crime

My name is 8653011 - I live in cell 65
They own me 24 hours the day, took my freedom away
I got nothing but time, time, time...

Everywhere I go, somebody's watching me
What a blame in their eye - why don't you let me be?
To survive I got to face reality
And know no one gives a damn 'bout me

Ma, would you love me?
I couldn't see for now I believe
Taking what's not yours is a serious crime

My name is 8653011 - I live in cell 65
They own me 24 hours the day, took my freedom away
I got nothing but time, time, time...
