I saw Jesus in a cell overnight where he was held
on some trumped up charge that we all knew was fixed
I said why not take a gun
take a knife & make a run
he said they've found new ways to make these charges stick  
he said there's no need now, cos everything is fixed

I said why not walk out free, why not place a call to me
Just to stay in touch and let me know you're well
Well, he took me by the hand and said son, you don't 
understand 
There's no tricks left here anymore that I can fix
I can't make one wrong move now, cos everything is fixed

He said take a deep breath, take another
make a move while you still can
Your one breath now soon will be worth its weight in gold
You can leave while I'm still trapped
and of breaths you're many left 
I've still some life in this cell but my breath is cold
I've still some life in this cell but my breath is cold 

well my mother took me in her arms,
and I asked her mother hold me still
I asked her after this will everything be well?
well she had never looked me in the eye 
so when she did it was with some surprise
She said don't you see now, everything fixed is killed
Gather up your things boy, everything fixed is killed

you may try with all your will, even try against your will
whichever way now baby, everything fixed is killed
whichever way still baby, everything fixed is killed

so keep on,working now, keep on working now
so keep on,working now, keep on working now  
keep on working for me till your bones are cold
