Met a man locked away
for things he hadnt done
innocense on a ball and chain
never feel the sun
a grin on his face
roses in his hands
but when he smiled at me
i could understand

if youre free youll never see the walls
if youre head is clear youll never freefall
if youre out right you never fear the wrong
if youre head is high you never fear at all

there was a daughter of a man
took his life too young
she swore shed never do those things
then did just what hed done
and a boy whose gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mothers dead

if youre free youll never see the walls
if youre head is clear youll never freefall
if youre right you never fear the wrong
if youre head is high you never fear at all

cuttin me down
cuttin me down

there was a man who had a face
it looked alot like me
i saw him in the mirror and i fought him in the street
then when he turned away i shot him in the head
then i came to realize i had killed myself

if youre free youll never see the walls
if youre head is clear youll never freefall
if youre right you never fear the wrong
if youre head is high you never fear

cuttin me down and
cuttin me down
