Prisoners Lyrics


All of the prisoners serving life sentences
Wait for the earth to suddenly shake
For the walls to somehow suddenly come crumbling, tumbling
And for the bars to somehow magically break
Aw, there's nothing wrong with them
That a thousand bucks can't fix
That a thousand arms can't hold down
In the ground they're tattooing the stones with
Cusses like cavemen, your momma was here
But they want to run through the air
With no barriers or obstacles
Gunmen or guard dogs or priests
And to rise from the mud and start over and over
With the people all dead
If Hans Christian Andersen could've had his way with me
Then none of this shit would have ever gone down
In my cell I'm tattooing myself with

Mermaids and swallows and though I do swallow
My mama thinks I'm grown but I'm really just little
And someday I will remember
Someday I will remember
Someday I will remember

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Once apart of the big UK hardcore movement of the 80's, Ripcord were formed in 1984 in Weston-Super-Mare, England by Steve "Baz" Ballam and John Millier, playing an intense up-tempo style of hardcore very much inspired by the likes of Siege and Discharge. The band had a well established reputation in the scene despite being short lived, opening for such acts like Napalm Death, Heresy, Doom. They threw together a line-up from the remains of Baz's old bands and recorded their first demo In Search of a Future in 1985.
