D
I stood before the judge that day
G D
As he refused my bail
And I knew that I would spend my time
A
Awaiting trial in jail
D
I said there is no justice
G D
As they led me out of the door
G D
And the judge said, "This isn't a court of justice son
A D
This is a court of law".
D
They first sent me to Windsor
G D
And then to Stoke on Trent
In a holding cell in Liverpool
A
Three days and nights I spent
D
My solicitor can't find me
G D
And my family don't know
G D
I keep telling them that I'm innocent
A D D7
They just say, "Come on son, in you go."
G D
I was picked up on suspicion of something I haven't done
D C#/D B/D A/D A
Here I sit in 'F' wing waiting for my trial to come
G D G
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands
D A D
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand
G D A D B7
E
I ended up in this jail
A E
Built in 18-82
When one man to one prison cell
B
Was a Victorian value
E
Now three of us are squeezed in here
A E
And you can't escape the smell
A E
Of that bucket in the corner
B E
And we eat in here as well
They let me out of this cage
A E
To slop that bucket out
To get my food and bring it back
B
And if I'm lucky, get a shower
E
Apart from one hours exercise
A E
I'm locked in here all day
A E
You don't turn criminals into citizens
B E E7
By treating them this way
A E
Is the prize of law and order the stench of Wormwood Scrubs
E D#/E C#/E B/E B
With judges quick to sentence sending more down from above
A E A
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands
E B E
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand A E B E ...
