[Verse 1: Tim Armstrong]
I need you 'cause I have a problem tonight
Cold breeze in a storm and electric night
Shut down the city 'cause I'll do that for you
I can taste the bitter sting of the blue

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen]
Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song

[Verse 2: Lars Frederiksen]
I refuse to be a beaten man, I won't accept defeat
I've been reaching for the stars 'cause you know I'm hard to beat
So step aside and wait your turn 'cause you will gеt your time
But not till I'm dead and gone 'causе I ain't finished with mine, no

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen]
Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song
[Verse 3: Matt Freeman]
Sacrifice our souls for a working wage
A constant state of manifest rage
Cast off, abandoned and into the cold
Their time will come before they grow old

[Chorus: Tim Armstrong, Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen]
Stop and pray for a while
For everything goes wrong
My heart goes out on pause for you
When we sing the prisoner's song
The prisoner's song
