Carry it on (Anti-Prison Song)
Text
There is a man on my side walking, there is a voice inside me talking, there's a word that needs a-saying (that needs a saying): carry it on, carry it on, carry it on, carry it on.
They will tell their lying stories, send their dogs to bite our bodies, they will lock us into prison (into prison): carry it on (4 times).
All their lies soon'll be forgotten (repeat). All their dogs gonna lie there rotten (repeat). All the prison walls will crumble (repeat): carry it on (7 times).
If you can't go on any longer (repeat). Take the hand held by your brother (repeat). Every victory is gonna bring another (repeat): carry it on (4 times).
There's a man on my side walking, there's a voice inside me talking: you gotta carry it on (4 times).
You got to carry it on (ad infinitum).
