Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey! It was a bad idea to give me this kind of time When they said, "You're gonna be in solitary confinement" And while the other inmates are outside lifting barbells I'm in an eight by ten prison cell But in the night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun New state officials are outside running around And they're telling the public that I need to be put down And Washington's saying emphatically That I wasn't doing things democratically But in the night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun (Hey hey hey!) The night of the sun The sun It was a bad idea (It was a bad idea!) To give me this kind of time (To give me this kind of time!) It was a bad idea.
