The Faces
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Cell block five; how I hate bromide
2
With your coffee in the morning; makes you so sterile
3
The corner gang never made a man of me, boy
4
You know the walls are tall, and the inmates scheme
5
There's no one here that's more than seventeen
6
Bet your life there's a riot tonight in the mess hall, listen
7
A letter from your home town makes you sad
8
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
9
He said sentimental rubbish ain't got no place in here, boy
10
[Chorus]
11
See the years roll on by
12
Such a senseless waste of time
13
What a way to reform
14
Call out your number
15
Who's a non conformer?
16
Not me, baby, oh yeah
17
Shakey Brown didn't hang around
18
When a Molotov didn't do its stuff
19
You went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun
20
You know Poker Sam couldn't lose a hand
21
If he did, you were hit by a downtown tram
22
Or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator
23
[Chorus]
24
When I get out, I'll get straight
25
If this old world gives me half a break
26
But, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder
27
Don't blame me, don't blame me, baby, no, no
28
Got to make a break for the county line
