Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Japanese prisoner of love
Leering at me from the bunk above
The seventh circle of hell right here in my cell
Did you forget you are a prisoner as well?
Sensual deprivations
Human rights violations
Enough is enough when shiv comes to shove
Japanese prisoner of love
[Verse 2]
I used to scream and I'd shout before bed with luxurious sheets
I used to sit on the toilet with a seat
And all the other jailbirds on E wing
Cry when I sing
Japanese prisoner of love
[Verse 3]
Sentenced and sent to the big house
Jumpsuited, shaven and deloused
Slowly turning, confined, taken by force from behind
By a surly white supremacist named Klaus
I used to think of my life as so sweet, but it's sour
Oh, I used to be alone in the shower
[Verse 4]
And all the other jailbirds on E wing
Cry when I sing
Japanese prisoner of love
[Verse 5]
And all the other jailbirds on E wing
Cry when I sing
Japanese prisoner of love
Japanese prisoner of love
