Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
It was a bad idea to give me this kind of time
When they said, you're gonna be
In solitary confinement
And while the other inmates
Are outside lifting barbells
I'm in an eight by ten prison cell
[Verse 3]
But in the night of the sun
The night of the sun
The night of the sun
The night of the sun
[Verse 4]
New state officials
Are outside running around
And they're telling the public
That I need to be put down
And Washington's saying
Emphatically
That I wasn't doing things
Democratically
[Verse 5]
But in the night of the sun
The night of the sun
The night of the sun
The night of the sun
The sun
[Verse 6]
It was a bad idea, it was a bad idea
To give me this kind of time
To give me this kind of time
It was a bad idea
