Jacob Green

Jacob Green got busted for possession

Next morning early he appeared in court

But he was sent to jail to wait to be trialed at some later date

Next morning early, there came a sad reportAt the jail they took away his clothes to shame him

And to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left

They cut of all his hair today they found him hanging there

Afraid to face the day he killed himselfIt happened yesterday and if you turn your head away

Somewhere in some dirty hole the scene will be rerun

Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seenIt could be someone that you love gets done

Like Jacob Green got done

It could be someone that you love gets done

Like Jacob Green got doneJacob's father hired a team of lawyers

Inspections and long inquiries were held

The sheriff then retired and the papers said two guards were fired

They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cellBut like a tomb that looks so white and shiny

Inside you'll find corruption never seen

And somewhere out there tonight in a dirty cell without a light

There will be locked up another Jacob GreenIt happened yesterday and if you turn your head away

Somewhere in some dirty hole the scene will be rerun

Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seenIt could be someone that you love gets done

Like Jacob Green got done

It could be someone that you love gets done

Like Jacob Green got done
