Those Involved
I have wounds from betrayals
I'm taking these bandages off
I walk over corpses
Over your plantation
Above your floor
To those informed
I have the names of those involved
Oh, Sonny, you're my own Sonny
Light shines through bars
Even though the gate is closed
And I've never been bitter
And there's no one I'd rather
Have as mine
While I'm among those arrested
For I have the names of those involved
Oh, Sonny, you're my own Sonny
You'll have to take my word for it
Like your father did
Put the cards on the table
And promise you'll never
Take off the shoes you walk in
Or the clothes that you sleep in
Before you've taken care of those involved
Put your hand on the window
Before you leave
Say your final goodbye
Now that you get
That which is written
In this letter
All the names on those involved
Oh, Sonny, you're my own Sonny
