paroles de chanson Riot in Cell Block No 9 (live/The Geordie Scene - Tyne Tees February 1975) - Dr. Feelgood

July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three
I was servin′ time for armed robbery
Four o'clock in the mornin′, I was layin' back in my cell
I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell

There's a riot goin′ on
There′s a riot goin' on
There′s a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number 9

The riot started down in cell block number 4
Spread like wild fire across the prison floor
Scar-face Jones said, "It′s too late to quit"
Pass 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
Down in cell block number 9

Y′all gotta stop that stuff goin' on over there
If ya don′t stop that riot, y'all gonna get the chair
I said, "Hey now boys, get ready to run
Here come the warden with an automatic gun"

There′s a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin′ on
There′s a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number 9

In the forty-seventh hour the tear gas
It got our men
We are all back 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
Down in cell block number 9
