[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:01.48]The prison system
[00:03.79]Inherently unjust and inhumane
[00:07.34]Is the ultimate expression of injustice
[00:10.15]And inhumanity in the society at large
[00:14.68]Those of us on the outside do not like
[00:17.62]To think of wardens and guards
[00:20.23]As our surrogates yet they are
[00:24.63]And they are intimately
[00:25.58]Locked in a deadly embrace
[00:28.99]With their human captives
[00:31.45]Behind prison walls
[00:34.30]By extension so are we
[00:37.93]The terrible double
[00:39.05]Meaning is thus imparted
[00:40.73]To the original question of human ethics
[00:45.18]Am I my brother's keeper
[01:15.13]The second of February 1980
[01:16.87]Began three days of misery
[01:19.15]A scene of retaliation
[01:21.64]Epitomizing violence
[01:23.13]Horror and vindication
[01:24.41]Thieves murderers and rapists
[01:25.26]Inundated their prison
[01:26.54]Like homicidal sadists
[01:28.25]Guards and convicts alike
[01:29.39]Would pay the price
[01:30.23]To them the electric chair
[01:32.03]Would look like paradise
[01:35.01]Only degradation torture
[01:36.14]And cremation would suffice
[01:39.04]A sea of agony rolled in like
[01:41.04]The coming of the tide
[01:43.78]The more fortunate escaped
[01:45.16]The insanity through suicide
[01:48.24]The screams of the dying would
[01:49.37]Haunt the living to the grave
[01:52.58]Survivors of the riot relive
[01:53.71]The nightmare every day
[01:57.12]The last act of defiance
[02:06.11]With a never-ending appetite
[02:07.74]Barbiturates set them off like dynamite
[02:10.13]Eradicating informants
[02:12.57]Acetylene torches dealt the punishment
[02:14.84]Melted from skin to bone
[02:16.85]The fire silenced their screams to moans
[02:19.05]Smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame
[02:21.59]Begging for mercy
[02:22.22]But their words were spoken in vain
[02:25.96]They weren't allowed
[02:26.52]To perish until they cherished all the pain
[02:30.12]A sea of agony rolled in like
[02:32.52]The coming of the tide
[02:34.51]The more fortunate escaped
[02:36.01]The insanity through suicide
[02:39.34]The screams of the dying would
[02:40.59]Haunt the living to the grave
[02:43.72]Survivors of the riot relive
[02:44.80]The nightmare every day
[02:48.32]The last act of defiance
[02:52.64]The last act of defiance
[03:51.94]Guards they had taken hostage
[03:53.77]Were to blame for
[03:54.55]Pushing them over the edge
[03:56.05]Their brutality would be their demise
[03:58.14]Like sharks in a frenzy
[03:59.23]They lashed out at their prize
[04:00.75]When the madness had ended
[04:02.51]The gore was too
[04:03.55]Intense to be comprehended
[04:05.21]No one explained the real reason why
[04:07.17]For cruelty of a few so many should die
[04:11.79]They knew of the flaws
[04:12.74]But still insist the 'cause was justified
[04:15.89]A sea of agony rolled in like
[04:18.46]The coming of the tide
[04:20.72]The more fortunate escaped
[04:21.91]The insanity through suicide
[04:25.19]The screams of the dying would
[04:26.33]Haunt the living to the grave
[04:29.57]Survivors of the riot relive
[04:30.69]The nightmare every day
[04:34.31]The last act of defiance
[04:38.41]The last act of defiance
