I've been stuck here for a while
I don't know why and I don't know how
One day I woke up by the police
Dragging me away

I think I went into a trap
It went black and there I sat
To be found on a floor in a prison cell

I'm gonna do what it takes
To get out of here
Dig with a spoon for sixteen years
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail
I'm gonna crawl thru the fence,
Run from the dogs,
Hide from the guards deep in the fog
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail

I have tried to escape this place
But it seems to be as tough
As breaking out of a prison cell

I'm gonna do what it takes
To get out of here
Dig with a spoon for sixteen years
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail
I'm gonna crawl thru the fence,
Run from the dogs,
Hide from the guards deep in the fog
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail

Now when I'm standing here alone
Nowhere else to go
So I pick up this guitar and sing this song

I'm gonna do what it takes
To get out of here
Dig with a spoon for sixteen years
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail
I'm gonna crawl thru the fence,
Run from the dogs,
Hide from the guards deep in the fog
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail

I'm gonna do what it takes
To get out of here
Dig with a spoon for sixteen years
I'm gonna do what it takes to get out of this jail
Of this jail
