[Verse 1]
My sentence is ending like this
I’ve been hacking and digging with a spoon and a shiv
Tunneling inch by inch
My strategy hinges on the fact that you’ve missed...

[Chorus]
Too long coming locked down I’m breaking out
Oh! Oh! So long...
Served my days, but now it’s coming around
Oh! Oh! So long...

[Verse 2]
Confinement gives birth to reflection
I wish I could trade ill-fated decisions
My penance has earned these offenses
I’m crawling my way to independence

[Chorus]
Too long coming locked down I’m breaking out
Oh! Oh! So long...
Served my days, but now it’s coming around
Oh! Oh! So long...

[Bridge]
Wait for moonlight
Time the searchlights
Lay in the shadows
Preparing for flight
[Verse 3]
My captors are convinced that I’m pinned
Down in dependence on the system that fostered
An institution of thieves
But I live to see
The shock on their faces when my cell is empty

[Chorus]
Too long coming locked down I’m breaking out
Oh! Oh! So long...
Served my days, but now it’s coming around
Oh! Oh! So long...
