Back in June 1994
Nobody knew what was in store
Fi Mark Barnsley, A Sheffield man
Fi Mark Barnsley, the nightmare began

He went out with his daughter and a family friend
He was surrounded by a drunken gang
With glass and a knife they beat him up
The students seemed to never give up

In self defense he disarmed one
To save his life he decided to run
But they chased him with no care for his health
And by their clumsiness five of them got hurt

Some time later he was taken to court
The witnesses, his injuries were all ignored
Seems inna the authorities nobody cares
That this innocent man got twelve years

A Song about Justice
For Mark Barnsley
Innocent man
Justice for Mark Barnsley
