Lyrics

When I finally came to I was all black and blue And one of my legs was in a sling I was handcuffed at the wrist And on the critical list And in the prison ward hospital wing Seems they had blown a hole in my chest That nearly laid me to rest And put knots all upside my head I was gagging and choking And my right leg was broken And it was just a miracle that I wasn't dead I was sentenced to the chair And shipped to Sing-Sing from there Where I spent the next twelve years on death row But I kept on copping a stay Until the death penalty was done away And after retrial they finally let me go It had cost me twelve years of my time To realize what a nickel and dime Hustler I had really been While the real hustlers were ripping off billions From the unsuspecting millions Who are programmed to think they could win But fortunately I had escaped From the deathly fate Of being fried alive in the chair Cause in my solitude I found out what's really going down You see I had learned the whole truth while I was there [Outro: Feelin' Alright] I'm feeling alright And I'm feeling too good 'bout that Oooohhh Yaahh I'm feeling alright Yes I am, yes I am, oh yes I am And I'm feeling too good 'bout that
