I don't like it, when you turn my cell about.
I don't like it, coz you let David Oldfield out.

My cellmate has been murdered,
my cellmate has been murdered,
my jail warden murdered,
my privileges just gone.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, convict rubbish, convict hate,

I don't like it, when prison stripes are white,
I don't like it, when the guards spotlights are bright.

Please explain,
why can't my cellmate be coloured white?

I should talk to some prison doctors,
a coloured cellmate, it's just not right.

I don't like anything, I can't do anything about it.

But I like Bee Smith,
But I'm not gay
'cos I left my heart in old Long Bay.

I don't like anything,
except I like Chopper Reid.

Prison dance, prison dance, prison nation?
Not a chance!

Prison dance, Prison dance,
out of my bunk, out of my cell.

I don't like a screw without strings,
vinegar tits is in the wings,
and shes saying convict things
I won't cop that, no way.
I can't do anything about it.

But I like dancing,
and I like the Jazz,
'cos I left my heart in Alcatraz..

No, the whole thing is wrong and it stinks,
and I don't like it.
