The gates have opened

Now I'm a free man

My time is over

I need a new plan

But I've had no loving

For a year and a day

My lady's waiting

Got a taste for her wine

She's wearing money

But none of it's mine

She's been surviving

While I've been wasting away



Back in my room

It ain't quite the same

You can't hide it

I'm onto your game



Rough justice, there's no disguise

And I can tell by

The look in your eyes

Rough justice, I've had my share

I've done my time

But I'm still running scared

Rough justice

Coming down on me

Long arm of the law

Never setting me free

Rough justice, I bide my time



Back in action, I'm riding the crest

And putting all that

I've learned to the test

No complications

Taking it day by day

Freedom of movement

Freedom of choice

Free to be right back here

With the boys

Ready to listen

But you've got nothing to say



Back in my room

It ain't quite the same

Just can't help it

I'm part of your game



Back in my room

It ain't quite the same

You can't hide it

Just part of your game



Rough justice ...
