prison triology

• billy rose olarak da bilinir. sözleri ve müziği hatunun kendisine ait, sesine de pek yakışan bir joan baezşarkısı.
  
  sozlerini de copy paste edeyim tam olsun
  
  billy rose was a low rider, billy rose was a night fighter
  billy rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name
  busted on a drunken charge
  driving someone else's car
  the local midnight sheriff's claim to fame
  
  in an arizona jail there are some who tell the tale
  how billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded
  knowing they'd remain the boss
  knowing he would pay the cost
  they saw he was severely reprimanded
  
  in the blackest cell on "a" block
  he hanged himself at dawn
  with a note stuck to the bunk head
  don't mess with me, just take me home
  
  come and lay, help us lay
  young billy down
  
  luna was a mexican the law called an alien
  for coming across the border with a baby and a wife
  though the clothes upon his back were wet
  still he thought that he could get
  some money and things to start a life
  
  it hadn't been too very long when it seemed like everything went wrong
  they didn't even have the time to find themselves a home
  this foreigner, a brown-skin male
  thrown inside a texas jail
  it left the wife and baby quite alone
  
  he eased the pain inside him
  with a needle in his arm
  but the dope just crucified him
  and he died to no one's great alarm
  
  come and lay, help us lay
  young luna down
  and we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
  to the ground
  
  kilowatt was an aging con of 65 who stood a chance
  to stay alive and leave the joint and walk the streets again
  as the time he was to leave drew near
  he suffered all the joy and fear
  of leaving 35 years in the pen
  
  and on the day of his release he was approached by the police
  who took him to the warden walking slowly by his side
  the warden said "you won't remain here
  but it seems a state retainer
  claims another 10 years of your life."
  
  he stepped out in the texas sunlight
  and the cops all stood around
  old kilowatt ran 50 yards
  then threw himself down on the ground
  
  they might as well just have laid
  the old man down
  and we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
  to the ground
  help us raze, raze the prisons
  to the ground
• joan baez'in en sevdigim parcalarindan, humanizme guzel ve ic burkan bir bakis acisi.
• giripte hapishanede söylenesi şarkı. hoş zaten joan^* aldırış etmeden gidipte onlarca hükümlünün önünde "we're gonna raze raze the prisons to the ground" diyebilmiştir.
• billy rose olarak da bilinmektedir fakat şarkı sadece billy rose'u değil, luna ve kilowatt'ı da anlatmakta olduğu için hapishane üçlemesi daha hoş bir isim. kilowatt'ın haberi aldıktan sonra son sürat koşmaya başlaması sonra pes edip kendini yere bırakması zihnimde canlanıyor ve her seferinde gözlerim doluyor.
