San Quentin - Live at San Quentin State Prison, San Quentin, CA - February 1969 (Version 1)

(And I was thinking about you guys yesterday. I've been here three times before, ehm)
 (I think I understand a little bit how you feel about something)
 (It's just none of my bussiness how you feel about some other things)
 (And I don't give a damn how you feel about some other things)
 (But, anyway, I tried to put myself in your place)
 (And I believe this is a way that I would feel about San Quentin)
 San Quentin, you've been living hell to me
 You've blistered me since 1963
 I've seen them come and go and I've seen them die
 And long ago I stopped asking why
 San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
 You've cut me and you've scarred me through and through
 And I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man
 Mr. Congressman, you can't understand
 (San Quentin)
 San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
 Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
 You bend my heart and mind, and you warp my soul
 Your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
 San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell
 May your walls fall and may I live to tell
 May all the world forget you ever stood
 And may all the world regret you did no good
 San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
 (Thank you very much)
 (One more time? Hold on)
 (Hey, before we do, tell if, uh, any of the guards who are still speaking to me, could I have a glass of water?)
