The gates have opened, now I'm a free man

My time is over, I need a new plan

But I've had no loving for a year and a day

My lady's waiting, got a taste for her wine

She's wearing money, but none of it's mine

She's been surviving while I've been wasting away



Back in my room, it ain't quite the same

You can't hide it, I'm onto your game



Rough Justice, there's no disguise

Losing my lover

And I can tell by the look in your eyes

Rough Justice, I've had my share

Looking for cover

I've done my time, but I'm still running scared

Rough Justice, coming down on me

Hand on my shoulder

Long arm of the law never setting me free

Rough Justice, I bide my time



Back in action, riding the crest

Putting all that I learned to the test

No complications, taking it day by day

Freedom of movement, freedom of choice

Free to be right back here with the boys

Ready to listen, but you've got nothing to say

Back in my room, it ain't quite the same

Just can't help it I'm part of your game
