[Verse 1] Looking on a past where we still had a chance We were pawns in a game that we could not win Now were alone just a pick an stone Were dreaming of a future where our ship comes in Dreaming of a future where our ship comes in [Chorus 1] Hey, ho, a prisoners song A game we could not win Hey, ho, a prisoners song Dreaming of a future where our ship comes in [Verse 2] A prisoner, my thoughts are A number in a cell, locked up like a dog in this man made hell Marching along, another man on the gang Im shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain [Chorus 2] Hey, ho, a prisoners song Marching along, another man on the gang Hey, ho, a prisoners song Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain [Bridge] We count days and nights Were paying with our lives Were paying for our wrongs Singing in a prisoners song Singing in a prisoners song [Verse 3] Looking on a past where we still had a chance We were pawns in a game that we could not win Now were alone just a pick an stone Were dreaming of a future where our ship comes in Hey, ho, dreaming of a future where our ship comes in
