Another day another youth Another story-mangled truth The commentary uncouth and full of cloudy grease Does it matter what the crime If indeed there was this time He's given solitary time An institutional caprice It's a torture of the soul The narrow confines of control Thrown down the stinking hole with no hope of release It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life Things then finally understood He's returned but damaged goods He fought hard as he could until he saw the last release Another day another murder A punishment taken further A surrender without murmur God trust his soul is at peace It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life It's just another wasted life
