lyrics

Seven prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
There’s no escape from there
And grief had to befell

When it's getting dark at night
Lust imbue the air
One of them was raped to death
And only six left there

Six life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
They were fed on skilly
Which was poor as hell

Hunger tears their stomachs
Like a grizzly bear
One becomes a dinner
And only five left there

Five life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
People never care about
Someone else's fell

One did ask for blanket
But no one wants to share
Pneumonia took his life
And only four left there

Four life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
Anyone can lose his head
When death rings a doorbell

Jailbirds were sinking
Each day deeper in despair
One was hanged on the sly
And only three left there

Three life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
Hard lines of the evil ones
So easy to foretell

With short temper as a rule
Rude word intends a dare
Head was crushed at paddywhack
And only two left there

Two life prisoners
Were sitting in one cell
One was acquitted of his crime
All comes to farewell

His faith is liberated
But why would envy care?
Pillow descends on sleepers face
And only one left there

Last one prisoner
Was sitting in the cell
He was naughty as a boss
But pride does lead to fail

He did flout the moral code
But on electric chair
He was burnt out like a bulb
And no one left in there

No more prisoners
Sitting in that cell
But next day another one
Is thrown into a jail

The only road to leave this place
Is lying through a bier
Day by day and one by one
Till no one left in here
