On Parole [What’s Words Worth?] Motörhead

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
