I got a letter from the government the other day Opened it and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me givin' a damn, I said, never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like myself because I never did I wasn't with it but just that very minute It occurred to me, the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me, begin to be another one Public enemy servin' time, they drew the line y'all They criticize me for some crime I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter Picture me givin' a damn, I said, never Mmm, mmm, mmm It occurred to me, the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before I got a letter from the government the other day Opened it and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me givin' a damn, I said, never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself, because I never did I wasn't with it but just that very minute It occurred to me the suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been?
