Restricted duties



Once again the bangles are steel
Tight enough not to feel
In an attempt to make me heal
May i just say i did not steal

Led away made to walk the plank
To the meat wagon my heart little did sank
From the previous victim the box stank
Its a good place to meditate time in the bank

Man in the back to keep an eye
Supposedly for the the protection of my
But it doesn't feel like it is for i
More like for protection the dci

Finally there we come to a stop
Your whole like is about to come to a stop
Down the plank right there stop
Buzzing in too full wait there stop

Now inside stand behind the line
Relieved of all belongings - yo that isnt mine
Remind me again what was the crime
Don't worry son you have plenty of time

Formalities over its off to the room
Hands on the glass the feeling of doom
Look this way and that they all sing the same tune
the PNC checking results come back soon

Time for good cop bad cop
This is your chance from the top
From me its a straight full stop
For i will never be talking shop

Bail not granted the saga will continue
Another stretch inside is it in you
When in need its time to see through
All who aint real you know those fake people

Taking through doors of steel
Locked away made to feel
Found not guilty no need to appeal
May i just say again i did not steal
