San Quentin, you´ve been livin´ hell to me You´ve hosted me since nineteen sixty three I´ve seen ´em come and go and I´ve seen them die And long ago I stopped askin´ why
San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you You´ve cut me and have scarred me thru an´ thru And I´ll walk out a wiser weaker man; Mister Congressman, why can´t you understand
San Quentin, what good do you think you do? Do you think I´ll be different when you´re through? You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell May your walls fall and may I live to tell May all the world forget you ever stood And may all the world regret you did no good
San Quentin, I hate evry inch of you |
