[00:00.80]The prison system, inherently unjust and inhumane
[00:06.77]Is the ultimate expression of injustice
[00:09.76]and inhumanity in the society at large.
[00:12.77]Those of us on the outside do not like
[00:16.84]to think of wardens and guards as our surrogates, yet they are.
[00:23.82]And they are intimately locked in a deadly embrace
[00:27.80]with their human captives behind prison walls.
[00:32.79]By extension, so are we.
[00:35.76]The terrible double meaning is thus imparted
[00:40.80]to the original question of human ethics
[00:43.75]"Am I my brother's keeper?"
[00:49.75]♪
[01:14.84]The second of February, 1980
[01:16.81]Began three days of misery
[01:18.83]A scene of retaliation
[01:19.79]Epitomizing violence, horror, and vindication
[01:22.83]Thieves, murderers, and rapists
[01:24.77]Inundated their prison like homicidal sadists
[01:26.80]Guards and convicts alike would pay the price
[01:29.81]To them the electric chair would look like paradise
[01:33.76]Only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice
[01:37.80]A sea of agony rolled in like the coming of the tide
[01:42.80]The more fortunate escaped the insanity through suicide
[01:46.78]The screams of the dying would haunt the living to the grave
[01:51.83]Survivors of the riot relive the nightmare every day
[01:55.79]The last act of defiance
[02:00.79]♪
[02:05.84]With a never-ending appetite
[02:06.77]Barbiturates set them off like dynamite
[02:09.79]Eradicating informants
[02:11.83]Acetylene torches dealt the punishment
[02:13.80]Melted from skin to bone
[02:15.78]The fire silenced their screams to moans
[02:17.78]Smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame
[02:20.83]Begging for mercy, but their words were spoken in vain
[02:24.80]They weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain
[02:29.80]♪
[03:50.80]Guards they had taken hostage
[03:52.82]Were to blame for pushing them over the edge
[03:55.77]Their brutality would be their demise
[03:57.76]Like sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prize
[03:59.76]When the madness had ended
[04:01.79]The gore was too intense to be comprehended
[04:04.81]No one explained the real reason why
[04:06.77]For cruelty of a few, so many should die
[04:10.77]They knew of the flaws, but still insist the cause was justified
