[Chorus:]
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on woww!
Down in cell block number 9
The riot sarted down in cell block number 4
Spread like wild fire across the prison floor
Scar-faced Jones said 'It's too late to quit'
Dance of dynamite cos they move real quick
[Chorus]
You'all stop this stop goin' on with this
You don't stop that riot
You're all gone get the chair
I said hey now boys, gettin' ready to run
Here come the warden, with the cops in toe
[Chorus]
In the 47th hour
The tear gas had got our men
We are all back in our cells
But every dog is pissed!
[Chorus]
