Convict Colony

I was born in a convict colony. And I was torn from the land that mothered me. Mother, may I? She said, “Yes, you may”. Well, today I… (Declare). I said, right here, today! You’re a Convict Colony if you’re running from the sun! You’re a Convict Colony!A Convict Colony! And you don’t really want it.

I was birthed from the Earth. Fought my way to this day. Now, I’m grown. Truth be told. I’ll be here, ‘til you’re gone. You’re a Convict Colony if you’re running from the sun! You’re a Convict Colony if you’re reaching for your gun! You’re a Convict Colony if you’re running from the sun! You’re a Convict Colony! A Convict Colony! And you don’t really want it
