It was December the sixth 1983
|
I was doin' time for armed robbery
|
At four in the morning, I was sitting in my cell
|
I heard a whistle blow, and I heard somebody yell
|
|
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
Up in cell block number nine
|
|
|
Our warden said Come out with your hands up in the air
|
If you don't stop this riot you're all gonna get the chair
|
And Scarface Jones said It's too late to quit
|
Pass the dynamite, don't you give me any shit
|
|
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
Up in cell block number nine
|
|
|
On the 47th hour the nerve gas got our men
|
We're all back in our cells but every now and then
|
|
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
There's a riot going on
|
Up in cellblock number nine
|
Up in cellblock number nine
|
Up in cellblock number nine
