i was born
in a convict colony
and i was torn
from the land
that mothered me

well, today i
i say right here today

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
a convict colony
and you don't really want it

i was birthed
from the earth
fought my way
to this day

now i'm grown
truth be told
i'll be here
'til you're gone

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
you're reaching
for your gun

you're a convict colony
if you're running
from the sun

you're a convict colony
a convict colony

and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want it
and you don't really want
