Death Row lyrics

Dead man walking

We've all been detained

For the crimes we've committed

They stayed execution

But we'll never get acquitted

Waiting for the day when they strap us in

And when they pull the lever

Hear the goddamn screams

Shake with fear

Electric chair

We're all inside

Homicide related

They'll show no mercy

And we don't anticipate it

We move a little closer

Every day to meet our maker

They cover up our face

And then they close the circuit breaker

Shake with fear

The end is near

Oh no, I won't go

You'll never get me down to

Death row

Oh come on man

Give me a break

I made one mistake, that's all it takes

Shake with fear

The end is near

Oh no, I won't go

You'll never get me down to

Death row

Oh no, they're taking me slow

One way ticket to

Death row

So what's the matter, son

Too young to die

Take it like a man

Don't cry

Oh no, I won't go

You'll never get me down to

Death row

Say a prayer, best beware

It's not very nice

In the electric chair

Oh no, I won't go

You'll never get me down to

Death row

Oh no, they're taking me slow

One way ticket to

Death row
