Thinkin’ if they slip up, they’ll get locked up in here

You’re killing yourself to make ends meet

You can’t beat livin’ in prison, there’s always something to do

Shoot some hoops and lift weights in the yard

Maybe blow off some steam, shiv a rookie guard

And there’s nothing more exquisite

Bb Gm7 Cm7 F7
There’s Jimmy the Pickle, and Shithole Hank

he makes the best hooch wine in his toilet tank
Bb Gm7 Cm7 F7
there’s Bam-Bam, and Tiny, and Sparkles McGee,
Bb Gm7 Cm7 F7 Eb/F

Why try a prison break

I got a trash pedigree (I got a trash pedigree)
