There's a ton of steel, that makes up my front door, Bunkbeds in the corner, a dirty concrete floor, Lookin through my window, far beyond the bars, Staring at the night sky, wishing on a star, Wishing I could change this life,...... bad choices made so far. Bullets are just brass and powder, topped with grains of lead, But fired from a pistol, they bring only pain and dread, Just a sudden reaction, in a moment of fear, Now I'm sentenced to this cold steel cell, with a lifetime of tears. I grew up tough as iron, my heart strong as steel, Gotta strike while the iron's hot, I was born to rob and steal. I thought the task was easy, I’ve done these jobs before, I was the first one in the bank, my partner had the door, I screamed out my orders, "put your hands above your head," But someone started running…………......now a young deaf girl is dead. Bullets are just brass and powder, topped with grains of lead, But one wrong move will have you wishing you were dead, With a pistol full of bullets, it only took that one, My hard life keeps going, but her short, sweet life is done. I once held that steel gun, a young man full of rage, But this ton of steel bars, will forever keep me caged. With a pistol full of bullets, it only took that one, Both our lives are over, …………….And it only took that one.
