Intro :
Ja cob Green got busted for possession
next morning early he appeared in c ourt
But he w as sent to jail to wait
to be trialed a t some later da te
Next mo rning early there came a sad rep ort
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him
and to make sure Ja cob Green had no pride left
They cut of all his ha ir
Toda y they found him ha nging there
a fraid to face the day he killed hi mself
It ha ppened yesterd ay and if you tu rn your head aw ay
Som ewhere in some di rty hole the sce ne will be reru n
Not on ly Jacob Gre en but many mo re you've never se en
It could be so meone that you lov e gets done
like Ja cob Green got done
It could be so meone that you lo ve gets d one
like Ja cob Green got d one
Jac obs father hired a team of lawyers
inspections and long inquiries were held
The sher iff then retired
and the papers said two gua rds were fired
They pu t a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell
But lik e a tomb that looks so white and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never seen
And s omewhere out t here tonight
In a dirty cell with out a light
T here will be l ocked up anoth er Jacob Green
It ha ppened yesterd ay and if you tu rn your head aw ay
Som ewhere in some di rty hole the sce ne will be reru n
Not on ly Jacob Gre en but many mo re you've never se en
It could be so meone that you lov e gets done
like Ja cob Green got done
It could be so meone that you lo ve gets d one
like Ja cob Green got d one
