Possession lyrics

Artist  : Zero 
Song : Possession



 Send "Possession" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Eight to ten years for possession,
    I'm
living at the state hotel.
    I guess I
learned my lesson.
    I guess I learned it
well.
    The judge says, "I got no
discretion.
    The law upon that point is
clear.
    Either got to put you up at state
expense
    Or let you walk away from
here.
    "I see you got a prior
conviction.
    That just about ties my
hands.
    They took away my power of
decision.
    I've got to honor what the law
commands.
    "You were indicted for
conspiracy
    to obstruct the right of
way."
    The plea was civil liberty,
   
But it wasn't a judge that day.
    chorus

   Possession, nine points of the law they say

   Possession, take that boy and salt him
away.
    Possession, teach him how to
obey.
    They'd rather let a killer walk the
street,
    Than another damn freak like
me.
    Got a wife and kid on the way.
   
I've never had a nose for crime.
    Someone
passed me a joint one day,
    And now I'm
doing federal time.
    Got a letter from wife
that read,
    "I just met another man.
   
It ain't that I don't love you, it said.
   
"I hope you understand."
    Guess my luck
ain't all that bad,
    Smiling through my
tears.
    Seems that the D.A. knew my dad

   Or I might have got 20 years.
    Killer
comes and a killer walks,
    While I sit
rotting here.
    The scene of the crime is
the ballot box,
    And people who vote from
fear.
    chorus
    2nd chorus
   
Possession, nine points of the law they say
  
 Possession, take that boy and lock him away
  
 Possession, I've come to understand
    They'd
rather free a man with some blood on his
hands,
    Than another damn freak like me.
