Borstal Boys |
| Cell block five, how I hate bromide |
| With your coffee in the morning makes you so sterile |
| The corner gang never made a man of me, boy, no |
| You know the walls are tall and the inmates scheme |
| There’s no one here that’s more than 17 |
| Bet your life there’s a riot tonight in the mess hall, listen |
| A letter from your home town makes you sad |
| You read it when the warden’s had a second laugh |
| He said, «Sentimental rubbish ain’t got no place in here, boy» |
| See the years roll on by |
| Such a senseless waste of time |
| What a way to reform |
| Call out your number |
| Who’s a nonconformer? |
| Not me baby, oh yeah |
| Shakey brown didn’t hang around |
| When a Molotow didn’t do its stuff |
| You went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun |
| You know poker Sam couldn’t lose a hand |
| If he did you were hit by a downtown tram |
| Or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator |
| See the years roll on by |
| Such a senseless waste of time |
| What a way to reform |
| Call out your number |
| Who’s a nonconformer |
| Not me baby, oh |
| When I get out, I’ll get straight |
| If this old world gives me half a break |
| But, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder |
| Don’t blame me, don’t blame me, baby, no, no |
| Hit me, woo |
| Ow, ow, ow |
| Got to make a break for the county line |
