Prosecutor said, "You bad, bad boy, gonna crush you like a broken toy,
Tie you up and lock you in, yeah - face the fact: you'll never win."
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna hit the rail,
I wanna break this jail.
Mama said, "You bad, bad, bad boy, our good name's destroyed,
Better let them lock you in, nasty little boy, taste the fruit of all your sin."
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna hit the rail,
I wanna break this jail.
Ooh, afraid to meet the judgement day,
Ooh, and it's time to pay,
Ooh, afraid to hear the judgement say, "Jail is your home, and there you will stay."
Ooh, afraid to meet the judgement day,
Ooh, when it's time to pay,
Ooh, afraid to hear the judgement say, "Jail is your home, kid, and there you will stay."
The judge was talking soft to me: "Look here, son, you're free to leave,
Your saviour has paid your fee; you're as free as a man can be, yeah, yeah."
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna hit the rail,
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna break this jail,
I wanna break this jail.
