lyrics

Took a good long look at my brother
Like I had not done in years
His face had changed along the way
Oh he don’t belong here
When a criminal like myself is walking in the street
And the judge just likes a tragedy
he’s one more casualty

They can take my body
They can’t take my mind

Saw my mother's face go wandering
At thought of her own child behind bars
A criminal like myself is walking in the street
and the judge just likes a tragedy
Here’s one more casualty

sax solo

He's one more tragedy
I ain't your casualty
Just one more tragedy

They can take my body
They can't take my mind
