Prison House Blues

I ain't gonna listen to what you say
I'm just gonna watch what you do
I ain't gonna listen to what you say
I'm just gonna watch what you say
You can have everything you ever wanted
but still have nothing inside of you
You can have everything you ever wanted
but still have nothing inside of you

Gone is gone you still live on
it's the death of a fire when the storm comes strong
Gone is gone you still live on
it's the death of a fire when the storm comes strong
I'm gonna do a deed that ain't no crime
I'm gonna change this world a ukulele at a time
I'm gonna do a deed that ain't no crime
I'm gonna change this world a ukulele at a time

Today's pain is tomorrow's strong
pain is the glue that will make you belong
criminalize greed because greed's a crime
why must everything be a blessing in disguise?
criminalize greed because greed's a crime
why must everything be a blessing in disguise?

Remember how the people used to clap and sing?
Someday again we will do anything
saying a prayer for some simpler times
the lost years will be over while we're still in our primes
saying a prayer for some simpler times
the lost years will be over while we're still in our primes

Everybody's talking because things ain't fair
we're all dying but bless those unaware
Everybody's talking because things ain't fair
we're all dying but bless those unaware
Got the heat up and my heat off the floor
bring on the long winter
I can do this some more
Got the heat up with my heat off the floor
bring on the long winter
I can do this some more

I ain't gonna listen to what you say
I'm just gonna watch what you do

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
