lyrics

I saw you in the soup kitchen
Where you the tellin' stories
About the days that you lost?
About the days that you lost?
I saw you hide your eyes
And did you humble yourself?

For the good of the people
They locked you away
For the good of the people
They locked you away

I saw you take a handout
And I watched you steal a meal
Now you're down and you're betrayed
By the sunken eyes of someone
Who you only ever blame

For the good of the people
They locked you away
For the good of the people
They locked you away

Yeah I saw you hide your eyes

And is it true that you've accepted
The way you used to be?
No, I didn't think so
No, I didn't think so
No, I didn't think so
Some things in this life
Where just never mean't to be...

For the good of the people
They locked you away
For the good of the people
They locked you away

For the good of the people
They locked you away
