Dr. Feelgood - Riot In Cell Block N° 9 lyrics

On July the 2nd, 1953 I was serving time for armed robbery Four o'clock in morning, I was sleepin' in my cell I heard a whistle blow, I heard somebody yell. There's a riot goin' on, there's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on up in cell block N°9. The trouble started in cell block no. 4, It spread like fire across the prison floor I said: 'Come on boys, get ready to run' 'Here comes the warden with a tommy gun'. There's a riot goin' on, there's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on up in cell block N°9. The warden said: 'Come out with your hands up in the air' 'If you don't stop this riot, you're all gonna get the chair' Scarface Jones said: 'It's too late to quit' 'And pa** 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 up in cell block N°9. The ninety-second hour, the tear gas got our men Crawled 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 up in cell block N°9.
