...Однажды друг отвел меня в сторону
и сказал: я должен покинуть вас...
          ******************
One day a friend took me aside
and said I have to leave you
for buying something from a friend
they say I've done wrong
for protecting the name of a man
they say I'll have to leave you,
so now I'm bidding you farewell
for much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
for every man inside,
if he can hear you sing
it's an open door.
There's not a rich man there,
who couldn't pay his way
and buy the freedom that's a high price
for the poor.

Kids in Texas
smoking grass,
ten year [bad word] to pass
Misdemeanor
in Ann Arbor,
ask the judges
Why?

One day a friend said to her kids
I'm gonna have to leave you
for selling something to the man
I guess I did wrong
and although I did the best I could
I'm gonna have to leave you
so now I'm kissing you farewell
for much too long.
And here's a song to sing,
for every man inside
if he can hear you sing
it's an open door.
