Weight of Time Lyrics


Wake up screaming it's four in the morning

To the sound of your own front door being kicked in

Dragged from sleep into the cold night air

Police have the power to turn dreams into nightmares

Kicked and punched on your way to the bloody cells

They make up your statement - you've got nothing to tell

Legal aid woman's still drunk from the night before

Doesn't seem to notice when the judge gives you four

- four years

Persona non grata

The prisons are the crime

Persona non grata

With all the weight of time (suspended)

Caged like vermin and left to rot

Worthless little bastard society forgot

To break the spirit ensures complicity

From the damned behind the walls of futility

The system's reality is based on fear

A fucking conspiracy to deny your freedom

Hardship reprisal - the official agenda

How to survive is the only criteria
