I've been in jail eleven years and parole has just come through The gates will soon swing open wide but I'm not going through Jail's the only home I know or care to know about Please let me stay where I belong, please don't let me out How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me? Can't I make you understand I never can be free? 'Cause that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out I had to learn to get along without a lot of things And I had to learn to live with the loneliness confinement brings And I learnt to take no mail from home or whatever came about Now I'm dug in and I'm happy here, please don't let me out How could I tell those friends of mine they've seen the last of me? Can't I make you understand I never can be free? 'Cause that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out Yes, that's a big unfriendly world and I don't know the route That leads to where I may belong, please don't let me out
