They locked me up, put me away
Said, you won´t get out
In forever and a day
I didn´t know what was going on
All I was doing was looking for fun

Forgot the reason, that´s what I´m told
But you´ve gotta get it in before you get old
They thought they had me
Had me for keeps
But they don´t know this boy never sleeps

I´m back on the streets again
I´m back on my feet again
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole

I like a laugh, I like a joke
It´s not my fault if my sense of humour broke
I tried to tell them I was sick
They seemed to think it was some kind of trick
Well alright, I would have done good
If they had listened to me like they should

I wouldn´t have this loaded gun
Looking for a citizen to waste just for fun

I´m raising my sights again
I´m claiming my rights again
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole

Stop me now before I kill myself
Stop me now before I kill myself
Stop me now before I kill myself
Stop me before I kill somebody else

You´d better watch out, you never know
Who´s gonna be the next to go
Nights, my friends, but it ain´t yours

Fixes the odds, evens the scores
Just turn around, I won´t go wrong

When he hits the ground I´ll be long gone
They won´t suspect me, no not a soul
Cause I´m a good boy, I´m on parole

It´s good to be free again
It´s good to be me again
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
I´m on parole, I´m on parole
