Sitting in this tiny cell
I've been sitting in my private hell
They got their ways of making me talk
But I don't have anything to tell
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Watching the weeks roll away
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Wasting time...
I went back to my home in Kabul
Looking for my wife and son
The soldiers put me in shackles
And they wouldn't say what I'd done
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Watching the years roll away
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Wasting time...
Looks like nothing's gonna change
I'm stuck here drowning in my shame
I just do what these people tell me to,
Got no choice or they leave me black and blue...
Sitting here with broken bones
They beat me then they leave me alone
Eight thousand miles from home
No family, friends, or telephone
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
My whole life has been stripped away
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Wasting time...
I grew up in Afghanistan
I've always been a peaceful man
I wasn't with the Taliban
Why don't you try to understand?
Mohamed can you see me now?
I'd pray but I've forgotten how
Just tell these thugs to leave me alone
And help me find my way back home...
I've been sitting in my private hell
They got their ways of making me talk
But I don't have anything to tell
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Watching the weeks roll away
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Wasting time...
I went back to my home in Kabul
Looking for my wife and son
The soldiers put me in shackles
And they wouldn't say what I'd done
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay
Watching the years roll away
Locked up at Guantánamo Bay

Looks like nothing's gonna change
