The Bars Lyrics
There was a girl I knew
She saw the prison inside
She cursed her keeper
And swore she'd get free
Every time I see
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I want out right now
She led an angel's life
On angel's wings
Jumped out her apartment window
And hit the street below
Every time I see
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I can't shut off my mind
And now I've waited, my hands are wrapped around the bars
I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars
The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies
Are trapped behind the bars
My mind hates my body
My body hates my soul
I close my eyes and fight
Inside my own black hole
Every time I see
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I want out right now!
I've lived my life
I'm doing my time
I realize life's lie
Every time I see
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I can't shut off my mind
And now I'm waiting, my hands are wrapped around the bars
I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars
The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies
They're trapped behind my eyes
She saw the prison inside
She cursed her keeper
And swore she'd get free
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I want out right now
On angel's wings
Jumped out her apartment window
And hit the street below
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I can't shut off my mind
And now I've waited, my hands are wrapped around the bars
I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars
The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies
Are trapped behind the bars
My body hates my soul
I close my eyes and fight
Inside my own black hole
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I want out right now!
I'm doing my time
I realize life's lie
I got my hands wrapped around the bars
I can't shut off my mind
And now I'm waiting, my hands are wrapped around the bars
I'm burning, my soul is pushed against the bars
The bars, the lies, the lies, lies, lies
They're trapped behind my eyes

How does this have no comments? Best Black Flag song in my opinion... I think it's pretty self explanatory, being sort of a prisoner to your own thoughts. I relate
