Faerie child, pining away for the wild
Will they ever let you out?
Instead of giving you a breakthrough
They've given you
A little prison
This iron was forged by a thousand gavels
Cold as a toilet seat in winter
Sterile as nirvana
They've thrown the weight so deep
And there isn't enough rope
We know we got shorted so badly
We hold each other close
Getting near the end of it now
A little prison
And soon we'll be getting out
Or getting even.
A Little Prison

A Little Prison
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
