It was a bad idea
To give me this kind of time.
When they said, "You're gonna be
In solitary confinement."
While the other inmates
Are outside lifting bar bells,
I'm in an 8x10
Prison cell.
But in the night of the sun
Night of the sun
The night of the sun
Night of the sun
New state officials
Are outside running around.
They're telling the public
And Washington's saying,
Emphatically,
That I wasn't doing things
Democratically.
But in the night of the sun
Night of the sun
The night of the sun
Night of the sun
The sun
It was a bad idea (it was a bad idea)
To give me this kind of time (to give me this kind of time)
It was a bad idea.
