Lyrics

I got a letter from the government the other day Opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like myself because they never did I wasn't with it, but just that very minute It occured to me the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell, how long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me began to be another one Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all They criticize me for some crime I got a letter I got a letter I got a letter Picture me giving a damn, I said never It occured to me the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell, how long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out but that thought was thought before I got a letter from the government the other day Opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn 'Bout a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't with it, but just that very minute It occured to me the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell, how long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run I'm not a fugitive on the run Many switch in Switch on, switch off Many switch in Switch on, switch off Many switch in Switch on, switch off Many switch in Switch on, switch off Many switch in Switch on, switch off Nevertheless they cannot understand that I'm a black man And I could never be a veteran On the strength, the situation's unreal I got a raw deal, so I'm lookin' for the steel Lookin' for the steel I got a letter from the government the other day Opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn 'Bout a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't with it, but just that very minute It occured to me the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell, how long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run I'm not I'm not I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me began to be another one Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all They criticize me for some crime I got a letter from the government the other day Opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn 'Bout a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't with it, but just that very minute I got a letter from the government the other day Opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn
