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
You know the walls are tall and the inmates scheme
Theres no one here thats more than seventeen
Bet your life theres a riot tonight in the mess-hall
A letter from your home town makes you sad
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
He said sentimental rubbish aint got no place in here boy
See the years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, whos a non-conformer?
Not me, no way
See the years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, whos a non-conformer?
Not me
Amazing grace, how sweet thou art
To save a wretch like me
I once was weak, but now Im strong
Amazing grace saved me
Years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, whos a non-conformer?
Not me
Got to make a break for the county line
