Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well they're calling time for exercise
Around her Majesty's hotel
The maid'll hose the room out while I'm gone
[Verse 2]
I never knew such luxury
Until my verdict fell
Four walls, a washbasin, prison bed
[Verse 3]
Well the Bathurst riots ended
When they clubbed the rebels down
And every congregation there was silence
[Verse 4]
You can hear the angels singing
When Christmas comes around
Four walls, a washbasin, prison bed
[Verse 5]
I love to march
While some Nazi calls the time
Who'd wanna go home
[Verse 6]
Well I can't see
And I can't hear
They've burnt out all the feelings
[Verse 7]
And I've never been so crazy
And it's just my second year
Four walls, a washbasin
Four walls, a washbasin
Four walls, a washbasin, prison bed
