Barbed Wire surrounds my soul My consciousness lies left behind And I can feel he's how he's retaining me Barbed Wire 'round every human being Keeps me warm keeps me tight So horribly frigth just like you You just turn your head cover your eyes And I burn You burn me like a book Burn me as they would Barbed wire breaks my skin Makes me struggle makes me scream But I won't hold back what I know Barbed Wire makes believe democracy Is freedom is justice for all And my flesh starts leaving the bone You just turn your head cover your eyes And I Burn You burn me like a book Burn me as they would Barbed Wire's what I'm breaking through Twisting and turning in pieces I get there I cannot survive but the dream's still alive Barbed Wire shows me real anguish Destroys all I hoped all my dreams But the fist remains raised
