Rancid

Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike Green Day and The Offspring however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots. more »

I need you 'cause I have a problem tonight
Cold breeze in a storm an electric light
Shut down the city 'cause I'll do that for you
I can taste the bitter sting of the blue

Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song

I refuse to be a beaten man
I won't accept defeat
I've been reaching for the stars
'Cause you know I'm hard to beat
So step aside and wait your turn
'Cause you will get your time
But not till I'm dead and gone
'Cause I ain't finished with mine, no

Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song

Sacrifice our souls for a working wage
A constant state of manifest rage
Cast off, abandoned and into the cold
Their time will come before they grow old

Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song
