about

War Panties preaching the gospel.

lyrics

Ophelia's boy's been locked up since the hate got real
Free her baby boy
He didn't steal, didn't kill or waver, but was brave and getting braver
Free her baby boy
Now the good ole law's intact but her boy ain't coming back
Free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy
Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice
Not a reason for the treason, and the law went along for the ride
Free her baby boy

Ophelia's boy's been chained in a cage for two months
Free her baby boy
She's got the grace of the Lord but that ain't helping too much
Free her baby boy
And if righteous is the power, we can light her darkest hour
Free her baby boy
But if innocence is the sin, her boy will never rise again
Free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy
Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice
The mother of a sucker the world blamed for its sins
Free her baby boy

Now her boy is homeward bound, what's lost will soon be found
Free her baby boy
And she'll never kneel to the hound who shot her baby down
Free her baby boy
She's lived the red, white, black and blue
What do them colors mean for you
Sing it again, said she's lived that red, white, black and blue
What does color mean to you

Free Ophelia's boy
Born the jack of spades, rolled a loaded dice
The law will change with the wind so break them rules, it's not a sin
And free her baby boy

Free Ophelia's boy
Born the jack of spades, a loaded dice
She's the mother of a man that the law came to blame
But we'll turn the tables babe
Have the law scared and running some day
Free her only son, won't you free him today
Free her baby boy
