Locked up in a white room, underneath a glaring light
Every 5 minutes, they're asking me if I'm alright
Locked up in a white room naked as the day I was born
24 bright light, 24 all alone
What I did was show some truth to the working man
What I did was blow the whistle and the game began
Tell the truth and it will set you free
That's what they taught me as a child
I can't be silent after all I've seen and done
24 bright light, I'm almost gone
Locked up in a white room, dying to communicate
Trying to hang in there underneath a crushing wait
Locked up in a white room I'm always facing time
24 bright light, 24 down the line
What I did was show some truth to the working man
What I did was blow the whistle and the game began
I did my duty to my country first
That's what they taught me as a man
I can't be silent after all I've seen and done
24 bright light, I'm almost gone
Treat me like a human
Treat me like a man
You got to treat me like a human
You got to treat me like a man
You got to treat, treat, treat me like a human
You got to treat me like a man
