Surviving in the Big House

lyrics

A young fish says to an old inmate
My man is this seat free?
He answers with his razor blade
See that kid’s face bleed
He tells you what to say
You better get it right
The Good Lord is his name
Unless you’re ready to fight

Find a candy bar in your room
Keep it safe or learn
There’s a predator who presumes
You’ll give him two in return
Then you’re a slave to be traded
His punk arse bitch tonight
You got yourself a new daddy
Unless you’re ready to fight

Chorus
Mind your own business or be ready to fight
Don’t stare, don’t snitch, keep a straight line of sight
Mind your own business or be ready to fight
For politics, religion and private life

Never let on to the screws (when)
You’re in the hole forever
When they finally let you loose
Then you take revenge
One full year you wait
Pull out a kitchen knife
Spit in the ol’ man’s face
Now you’re ready to fight
