Jailhouse Baby

CNN and MTV

All cameras focused on me

Helicopters up above

Oh, what a travesty

There's a crazy world at war

Right outside of my front door

They're wasting time on me

I'm just a jailhouse baby

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

(I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird)

Cool nights and freezing water,

Fluorescents always on

Stuck here behind this glass

My parents see their daughter

Judge, you're no celebrity

You're a desperate wannabe

Sourpuss, you'd rather leave

Real criminals on the streets

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

(I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird)

Handcuffs and cold concrete

Notes slipped right under my door

Look at me, caught in this cage

Just like an enemy

Like a public enemy

Make a martyr out of me

How dangerous can I be?

I'm just a jailhouse baby

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

(I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird)

All those lonely nights of terror

I thank you for your letters

Words from around the world

For the lonely, little jailbird

Still haunted by my errors

Why's the system so unfair?

But I'm stronger than before

No, I'm no longer scared.

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird

Oh, I'm singing so sleepy

Jailhouse baby

No window in the world

(I'm a little, I'm a little jailbird)
