As the day breaks through the window and the defiant bars stand strong All is quiet on the Death Row we all know it won't be long
The wardens keep us waiting They torment us as long as they dare We all wonder who is the next one to be dragged down to the chair
We're on the Death Row We're paying for our crimes We're on the Death Row They're gonna blow our minds We're on the Death Row It makes me sick sometimes Society won't tolerate me
That's why I'm sitting in a prison cell 'cause I done something real bad But I wish they'd come and get me 'cause the suspense just drives me mad
And I'm thinking whilst I'm waiting 'Shit, I hope they don't shave my hair 'Cause I wanna see it stand up straight when they strap me to that chair'
Then I hear footsteps outside and the man in black walks in All is quiet on the Death Row as the light bulbs all glow dim.
