lying in the cell, lookin through the bars lookin at the open feilds, so near and yet so far wonderin bout your freinds out there, and what they're doin now and wishin you could be with them today
behind the bars behind the bars behind the bars because you stood up for your race, now
try and break your spirits, they'll try to grind you down if you stand up for your country, they don't want you around you wonder what you're doin here, and if its all worth while they'll never crush the pride thats in your heart
behind the bars behind the bars behind the bars because you stood up for your race, now
behind the bars behind the bars behind the bars because you stood up for your race
try and make you angry, they'll make new rules for you cause you are what they fear, you're ideals stay true you thank the rules that stake you, cause you stand firm and proud you'll never let them tear your country down
behind the bars behind the bars behind the bars because you stood up for your race
