Doin' Time

They tell me that the sun comes up every morning

They tell me that there's people out on the streets

But why is life so cruel?

(He's doin' time)They tell me, man, he tops the list in Creation

He takes his place as uncrowned king of the world

But why is man so cruel?

(He's doin' time, ain't it a crime?)Oh, Prince of peace we need you now

Give us a sign to show us howLocked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer

(It's such a shame, he took the blame)

Seems even love possesses treachery too

But how can love be cruel?He's doin' time

He's doin' time, ain't it a crime?

It's such a shame, he took the blameSeems this old world has lost its way

On such a torn and troubled dayLocked in her room

The lover mourns her betrayer

(He's doin' time, ain't it a crime?)Seems even love possesses treachery too

(It's such a shame, he took the blame)But how can love? But how can love?

But how can love be cruel?

(He's doin' time, he's doin' time)
