Jailhouse Rocking - Live 95

Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'

Prisoners chanting for they want to come out
It's been a long time (Long time)
My brothers and my sisters have been taken away (Away)
For such a long time
Locked behind the bars in Spanish Town
Locked behind the bars in Richmond Farm
Locked behind the bars in Port Augustus
Say, I know what you're going through
Say, I know what you're feeling too

Though I know a lot of you are innocent
Serving the time of a convicted prisoner

Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
They're standing for they want to come out
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
You can take a stock, yeah

So many youths come check you for work to do
Their reply is telling them, "I can't help you"
Look upon the street, there is not even a shoe to wear
Look upon the pavement, all you see is fear
How do you think they're gonna survive?
Guess they shoulda know by now (Guess they shoulda know by now)
There be robbing, stabbing, looting in the street
For I know each and everyone needs to eat
There be robbing, stabbing, shooting all over
And I tell you that it happens on the corner

Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'

They're standing for they want to come out
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'

You can take a stock
Take a stock, take a stock, stock
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'
Jailhouse rockin'

Jailhouse rockin'

Jailhouse rock, jailhouse rock
Jailhouse rock, jailhouse rock
Jailhouse rock, jailhouse rock
Jailhouse rock, jailhouse rock
Rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock
Jailhouse rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock
Jailhouse rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock-rock

Do you, do you remember Honorable Robert Nesta Marley?

'Nuff respect to one of my beloved brethren
Prophet, yeah, forerunner
Who has gone beyond
And is now sitting on the right hand side of the Most High Jah
Rastafari Selassie I, yeah, yeah
Bob Marley, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, speech of his majesty

Until the color of your skin is no more
Significant than the color of your eyes
Until there is equal rights and justice for all nations upon this land
There will be war!
