The city rises on seventeen hills
Seventeen hills from the sea
And you see five of those seventeen hills
Through the iron grille in cell block E
The city rises on seventeen hills
Seventeen hills from the Bay
You could see nine of those seventeen hills
From the lead roof of cell block A
Papa came here as a sailor
Jumped a ship in '53
And when he ran, my mama drank herself to death
I guess I got that dirty gene
Yeah, it's about all he left to me
This city rises on seventeen hills
Seventeen hills from the bay
You'd see twelve of those seventeen hills
From the downpipe of cell block H
Flaming hair and her name was Irene
The prettiest thief you ever seen
We robbed a store and she shot an armed guard
But mine was the face on the DVR
Seventeen hills from the sea
And you see five of those seventeen hills
