Johnny Rawls - Tiger in a Cage lyrics

Pacing like a tiger Locked in a cage Filled with hate Filled with rage Learn a hard lesson in the come of the crime 19 years old doing hard times Lock him away and lock him up tight Lock him away keep him out of sight Lock him away and throw away the key Wing it out what will he be Pushing bag jokes Giving up hope Pacing like a tiger Locked in a cage Filled with hate, filled with rage Never gonna make it on the outside Locked up in a cage Why don't you give up trying You can't get a job working for the man So you gotta get by the best way you can You got no future you got no hope Dealing on the corner pushing that dope Pushing bag jokes giving up hope Pacing like a tiger Locked in a cage Filled with hate Filled with rage Everyday is the same as years gone by Tiger in a cage just waiting to die Creit told us that a Freddie's dead It's the same old story just like you said Take the wrong turn and you can't go back again Young lives are lost before they begin Pushing bag jokes giving up hope Giving you hope pacing like a tiger Locked in a cage Filled with hate Filled with rage Everyday is the same as years gone by Tiger in a cage just waiting to die Pushing bad jokes Giving up hope Pushing bad jokes Giving up hope
