San Quentin |
| 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, you’ve been livin' hell to me |
