INTRO
San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
And long ago I stopped askin' why
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you.
You've cut me and you scarred me through and through
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man
Mister Congressman you can't understand
GUITAR SOLO
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
You bend my heart and mind and you may my soul,
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.
San Quentin, i hate every inch of you
