A#
I stood before the judge that day
D# A#
As he refused my bail
And I knew that I would spend my time
F
Awaiting trial in jail
A#
I said there is no justice
D# A#
As they led me out of the door
D# A#
And the judge said, "This isn't a court of justice son
F A#
This is a court of law".
A#
They first sent me to Windsor
D# A#
And then to Stoke on Trent
In a holding cell in Liverpool
F
Three days and nights I spent
A#
My solicitor can't find me
D# A#
And my family don't know
D# A#
I keep telling them that I'm innocent
F A# A#7
They just say, "Come on son, in you go."
D# A#
I was picked up on suspicion of something I haven't done
A# A/A# G/A# F/A# F
Here I sit in 'F' wing waiting for my trial to come
D# A# D#
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands
A# F A#
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand
D# A# F A# G7
C
I ended up in this jail
F C
Built in 18-82
When one man to one prison cell
G
Was a Victorian value
C
Now three of us are squeezed in here
F C
And you can't escape the smell
F C
Of that bucket in the corner
G C
And we eat in here as well
They let me out of this cage
F C
To slop that bucket out
To get my food and bring it back
G
And if I'm lucky, get a shower
C
Apart from one hours exercise
F C
I'm locked in here all day
F C
You don't turn criminals into citizens
G C C7
By treating them this way
F C
Is the prize of law and order the stench of Wormwood Scrubs
C B/C A/C G/C G
With judges quick to sentence sending more down from above
F C F
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands
C G C
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand F C G C ...
