[Black Uhuru - General Penitentiary lyrics]
General penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
Down in the dump cell
Where I can't take no smell
It's like a oven baking for 2 thousand years
When the morning comes
I & I would run to get some tea
Here comes the boss with his baton
Say dreadlocks you don't come here
To drink pea soup and fatten ooh oh
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
As time and time go by
It's the set for the same everyday
So if you can't do the time
Don't bother with no crime
Cause the food that you take to save your
Life can let you lose it the same
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
It's a warehouse of human slavery
And it doesn't help for a person
Who need a weekly salary
So if your eyes can't
Be fulfilled and satisfied
A lot more to come and
See those chastised mmmmmm yeah
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
General, general, general penitentiary
General penitentiary
