Dead Time Bummer Blues Lyrics - Singles - Judee Sill

I'm doing all this dead time 

For the partaking of a plant 

The earth says "help yourself" 

But the law maintains I can't 

Dead time, whoa, dead time 

Doing the dead time bummer blues 

I never hurt anyone 

Or caused any sorrow 

My cellmate stole a Cadillac 

And she's going home tomorrow 

Dead time, whoa, dead time 

Doing the dead time bummer blues 

Where is justice and liberty? 

The law is blind, and cannot see 

Where is justice and liberty? 

Somebody help, please set me free! 

Where is justice and liberty? 

The judge was blind, and could not see 

Where is justice and liberty? 

Somebody help, please set me free! 

It's such a drag just knowing 

That the outside is so near 

Can't help but ask this question: 

"What the fuck am I doing here?" 

Ooo, dead time, whoa, dead time 

Doing the dead time bummer blues 

Doing the dead time bummer blues 

Doing the dead time, dead time bummer blues
