Well I was sentenced to prison To do about one year They said it isn't so bad We got a good band here We play every Wednesday night Sometimes Tuesday too It's the music of the future and it will get to you When I heard the band for the first time They had no (rhythm), they had no (rhyme) Well it was almost like a dream I never wanted to have It drove me (crazy), it drove me (mad) The man said: "C'mon and play And here's an instrument for you It's an ancient flute It's in the key of 2. Blow..." I gotta get more time, I gotta stay in here I used to be foggy But the music made me clear Now the jail is rockin' like Elvis never knew I'm on the inside now, I'm in the key of 2 Now we all are lifers and I'm in the band too We play my favorite song, it's in the key of 2 And it will get to you It's the music of the future and it will get to you And it will get to you It's the music of the future, it's in the key of 2
