A
I stood before the judge that day
D A
As he refused my bail
And I knew that I would spend my time
E
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
E 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
E
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
E A A7
They just say, "Come on son, in you go."
D A
I was picked up on suspicion of something I haven't done
A G#/A F#/A E/A E
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 E A
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand
D A E A F#7
B
I ended up in this jail
E B
Built in 18-82
When one man to one prison cell
F#
Was a Victorian value
B
Now three of us are squeezed in here
E B
And you can't escape the smell
E B
Of that bucket in the corner
F# B
And we eat in here as well
They let me out of this cage
E B
To slop that bucket out
To get my food and bring it back
F#
And if I'm lucky, get a shower
B
Apart from one hours exercise
E B
I'm locked in here all day
E B
You don't turn criminals into citizens
F# B B7
By treating them this way
E B
Is the prize of law and order the stench of Wormwood Scrubs
B A#/B G#/B F#/B F#
With judges quick to sentence sending more down from above
E B E
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands
B F# B
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand E B F# B ...
