Handcuffs Songtext

von The Front Bottoms

See i was in handcuffs, no one stood by my side
No one to help me prove my charege was a lie
Well, some prosecutor screams " im a terrible guy"
That im guilty and deserve twenty-five to life
See i lost my temper
And the cop lost his cool
A whole can of pepper spray
Man makin me look like a fool
And he started stompin
As i was gaspin for air
Already on the groud
Man that fight dont seem fair
But when with my pain came rage
A light so bright i feel blind
So i reach with my hands
And a rock is what i do find
He stops for a moment
I gather my strength
Just enough to swing quickly and put the rock right through his face
And thats how it happened
How he met his fate
And how my left eye got burned out by the pepper spray
Some called me a monster
Things got super intense
But i dont think i did nothing wrong your honor i claim self-defense
First they to his cop friends
Then they talk to his wife
They all said the same thing
"He never hurt nothin or no one in his whole life"
They made it seem pretty obvious
That i was the one to blame
Even my public defender
Didnt have all that much to say
The jury comes bacl in
I try to look them all in the eyes
Try to make em feel like talkin
Another life that dont make takin
The first one right and i hope they realize
I hope they truly understand
Just sorry i am things got so out of hand
