“Rusty Old Steam Pipes” Lyrics

Rusty old steampipes banging away,
letting me know it’s another day
in hell, in a cell

He did wrong and he agrees,
so punish him with humanity
for he`s a human, he`s not a dog

Show him a picture or give him an answer that will help him.
He wants to free his body,
He wants to free his mind.
He`s been in prison too long. . . .here`s his song.

23 hours in a lifeless cell.
Day after day it`s the same old hell.
Who knows why – I`d like to know.
I wish I knew the answer for this,
To release his soul from captivity.
Oh lord, hear his plea.
