Twinkle Toes

Well, I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
And I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
Well, if I die while I’m up here in prison
They will bury me inside these walls
And around my tombstone they’ll wrap their rounds of razor wire
So my soul can’t go back home to God
Well, I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
And I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
Well, there’s no mercy past the gates of entry
Guards got hearts that’ll turn to solid stone
Oh, how can someone with a gun and billy club
Kill some boy who’s just trying to get back hom
Well, there’s som evil people here in prison
Oh, pedophiles and murderers and thieves
But mostly though it’s just petty drug offenders
Who are trapped like lambs in the jaws of wolves like these
Oh, St. Peter and Gideon and Gabriel
Strike that note you struck in Jericho
Let the horns of heaven wreck the walls of prison
And tell those assholes to let my people go
Well, I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
And I don’t need no shackles on my twinkle toes
I don’t need no irons on my feet
