Free up my brother, one by one
They need to be free
Oh yeah now
Three meals a day
No rent to pay
Got to no wife to obey
Only the bosses gettin' paid
Sitting in a two by four
Lookin' through an iron door
Down in hell
I could never get used the smell
Talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detent.yeah
I'm talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detent.
Believe me, oh, oh, believe me
Believe me, hmm, it's true
Believe me
I said three meals a day
Got no rent to pay
Got to no wife to obey
Only the bosses gettin' paid
Sitting in a two by four
Lookin' through an iron door
Down in hell, I said
I could never get used to the smell, no
I'm talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detent.yeah
I'm talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detention, na, na, na
Got to believe me, oh, oh, it's true
Detention, detention, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh.woo yeah
The wrong remains the same
And the righteous gets the blame
The wrong remains the same
Jah people gets the blame
Every time, everyday, everywhere they go
Jah people, Jah people, gets the blame
Every time, everywhere they go
Got to overcome the judgement and the tribulation
Oh yeah
Say three meals a day
Got to rent to pay
Got to no wife to obey
Only the bosses gettin' paid
Sitting in a two by four
Lookin' through an iron door
Down in hell, I said
I could never get used to the smell, no
I'm talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detent.yeah
I'm talkin' about detention, detention
I'm talkin' about detention, na, na, na
