Steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge Day 5/60 - "Jailer" by Asa

Lyrics

I'm in chains you're in chains too
I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
You're a prisoner too Mr Jailer

I have fears you have fears too
I will die, you sef go die too
Life is beautiful
Don't you think so too Mr Jailer

I'm talking to you jailer
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man

You suppress all my strategies
You oppress every part of me
What you don't know,
You're a victim too Mr Jailer

You don't care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you treat me like a modern slave Mr Jailer

I'm talking to you jailer
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man

You see, if you're walking in a market place
Don't throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your
Philosophies and be good to your Fellow man

I'm talking to you jailer
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man

You see, if you're walking in a market place
Don't throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit
One of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your
Philosophies and be good to your Fellow man

I'm talking to you jailer
Let he who is without sin -
Be the first to cast the stone Mr Jailer, Mr Jailer Man

I hear my baby say
I wan chop money
From my government
What he don't know
What he won't know
What he can't know
Be good oh somebody
Be good oh

Reflection

Jailer remains one of my best tracks anytime any day. In Jailer, an oppressed tells the story of the oppressor, who is clearly the jailer whose interest is to make life miserable for the prisoner.

Unfortunately, the singer says that the oppressor is also a victim too because he has to go through some inconveniences to unleash pain on the prisoner.

Jailer also talks to government officials who are corrupt. One day, they will leave office and reap the fruits of their corruption.
