Chino

Rotting in the county jail will drive you insane

So I got myself a sentence and I caught a chain

None of us kids was gonna make a fuss

We were all glad to be ridin the bus

You take the 5 to the 60 to the 71

You get off at Central and your hard time's done

Take my county blues, I won't be needing those

I got directions to my cell and a fresh set of clothes

"Holiday In Cambodia" was runnin through my head

For a minute I was thinking I'd be better off dead

Screaming Mimi's getting butt-fucked all night long

We're all brothers- Can't we all just get along?

2500 Abel 6, day after day

It felt so good to finally get away

We're so hopped up on dope, we're dead from the neck up

We're gonna get a whole bunch of dental work and costly medical check ups

Gotta watch your back or you might get stuck

Because a lot of these freaks don't give a fuck

But all the kids are going to school

Or working a job, so it's really cool

We all get to learn a useful trade

We're gonna blow all our ducats when we get paid

For a nickel a day I do my task

Removing asbestos without a mask

It's the gateway to the majestic San Gabriels

Far from the beach yet packed with seagulls

The sweet smell of cow shit is in the air

Views of Mount Baldy from everywhere

The guard is asleep up in the rifle tower

Taco and Veneno hide in th steam and shoot up in the shower

I'm so glad I didn't O.D., and end up dead

Cuz I'd had never learned to play golf or sit down and eat this beautiful spread

After swimming all day in the Olympic pool

We're gonna get a tattoo from an inkslinging fool

The oldies station's playing dedications

From the girls in Frontera who are on vacation

Saturday night at the old chow hall

They're showing a movie, then we're playing handball

All the kids are out walkin the yard

Smoking pot, drinking pruno and trying to look hard

My name is D-75205

I gotta keep my number alive

Cuz Veneno gets visits four times a week

Keestering coke, smack, pot and tweek

When he whips that clavo out of his ass

All the kids know we're gonna have a blast

I'm gettin' paroled for the summer y'all

But I'll catch a new beef and be back in the fall
