The Nova Local - John Knight's Body (I Wanna Get Out) lyrics

September 3rd was the wicked day When the men in blue called me away For a crime unfit for a gentleman I plead to you, help me if you can I wanna get out They found John Knight's body in the sewer Seems he had been sick, now we found a cure For a suspect vague, they will have to look 'Cause they found my name in his pocketbook I wanna get out I'm much too young to have to die Why am I here? Don't ask me why It's a mistake, I have been framed Please, for my sake, don't let me hang My cell is cold every day and night And it must have been weeks since I've seen daylight And the guards beat me if I make a noise And I wouldn't be here if I had my choice I wanna get out Mister warden, mister warden, hear my plea Mister warden, mister warden, it's not me Mister warden, mister warden I miss mom and dad And the food's so bad I wanna get out I wanna get out I wanna get out I'm much too young to have to die Why am I here? Don't ask me why It's a mistake, I have been framed Please, for my sake, don't let me hang
