Lyrics

Well I'm waiting on the day
When the people walk free to see
When the penitentiary is on fire
When there's no need
To bleed
For your mother or your brother
Or the one that bomes before you whoa
Well I'm waiting on a time
When people walk free to see
From the penitentiary in our mind
When there's no need to bleed
For your father
Or your son
Or the one that you've become

(Chorus)
When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire

I'm waiting on the day
When the people walk free
To see
When the penitentiary is on fire
When there's no need
To bleed
For your father
Or your son
Or the one that you've become
An' I'm
I'm waitin on a time
When the people walk free
To see
When the penitentiary in our mind
When there's no need
To bleed
For your mother or your brother
Or the one that comes before you yeah

(Chorus)
When the penitentiary is on fire
When the penitentiary is on fire
(Yeaaaah)
When the penitentiary is on fire
(Whoooa)
When the penitentiary is on fire
