riot in cell block number nine - live - dr feelgood lyrics

Loading...

on july second, 1953
i was serving time for armed robbery
’bout four in the morning
i was sleepin’ in my cell
i heard a whistle blow
i heard somebody yell

there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
up in cell block number nine

the trouble started in cell block number four
it spread like fire across the prison floor
i said “come on boys, get ready to run –
here comes the warden with a tommy gun”

there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
up in cell block number nine

the warden said
“come out with your hands up in the air
if you don’t stop this riot (or: you gonna start a riot ???)
you’re all gonna get the chair”
scarface jones said, “it’s too late to quit
and p-ss the dynamite, ’cause the fuse is lit”

there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
up in cell block number nine

the ninety-second hour
the tear gas got our men
crawled in our cells
but every now and then…

there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
up in cell block number nine
