You came you saw, what they did to me.
They will not rest, or let me be.
They ruled me guilty, in the 3rd degree.
Why can’t I be free.
So many people walk the fine line of chance,
Balance on the edge of a bad romance.
Sometimes the innocent charged with a crime
Will wake up in prison, serving their time.
Verse
I have no power, in this court of law,
Nobody cares for me that's for sure,
All tangled in a web of lies,
Integrity is no alibi.
So many people walk a fine line of chance,
Right time, right place, wrong circumstance.
Taking a risk, no one would dare,
Leeds to a room full of empty stares.
Chorus
When will they realise, that they have got it wrong?
How can I survive, how can I be strong?
I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist.
It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss.
It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games.
I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain.
Verse
A new outlook, really changed my life,
I had to get into strife,
All the lost years of monotony,
I've had my prophecy.
I am no number, just falsley accused.
Lost in the system, dazed and confused.
Five percent deemed innocent no way to be saved!
Is there a way to escape unscathed?
Chorus
When will they realise, that they have got it wrong?
How can I survive, how can I be strong?
I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist.
It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss.
It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games.
I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain.
Bridge
Can't change the past,
Good things don't last,
All happens too fast.
Chorus
When will they realise, that they have got it wrong?
How can I survive, how can I be strong?
I can’t get over this, the injustice, it has gone amiss, but I resist.
It is you I miss, I cannot kiss, I can only reminise of bliss.
It is all the same, I feel the drain of a world insane and full of games.
I can't stand the same, I must remain, if I only overcame the pain.
