Rotting On Remand
(Billy Bragg)
[tab]C
I stood before the judge that day[/tab]
[tab] F C
As he refused my bail[/tab]
And I knew that I would spend my time
[tab] G
Awaiting trial in jail[/tab]
[tab] C
I said there is no justice[/tab]
[tab] F C
As they led me out of the door[/tab]
[tab] F C
And the judge said, "This isn't a court of justice son[/tab]
[tab] G C
This is a court of law".[/tab]
[tab]C
They first sent me to Windsor[/tab]
[tab] F C
And then to Stoke on Trent[/tab]
In a holding cell in Liverpool
[tab] G
Three days and nights I spent[/tab]
[tab] C
My solicitor can't find me[/tab]
[tab] F C
And my family don't know[/tab]
[tab] F C
I keep telling them that I'm innocent[/tab]
[tab] G C C7
They just say, "Come on son, in you go."[/tab]
[tab] F C
I was picked up on suspicion of something I haven't done[/tab]
[tab]C B/C A/C G/C G
Here I sit in 'F' wing waiting for my trial to come[/tab]
[tab] F C F
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands[/tab]
[tab] C G C
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand[/tab]
F C G C A7
[tab] D
I ended up in this jail[/tab]
[tab] G D
Built in 18-82[/tab]
When one man to one prison cell
[tab] A
Was a Victorian value[/tab]
[tab] D
Now three of us are squeezed in here[/tab]
[tab] G D
And you can't escape the smell[/tab]
[tab] G D
Of that bucket in the corner[/tab]
[tab] A D
And we eat in here as well[/tab]
They let me out of this cage
[tab] G D
To slop that bucket out[/tab]
To get my food and bring it back
[tab] A
And if I'm lucky, get a shower[/tab]
[tab] D
Apart from one hours exercise[/tab]
[tab] G D
I'm locked in here all day[/tab]
[tab] G D
You don't turn criminals into citizens[/tab]
[tab] A D D7
By treating them this way[/tab]
[tab] G D
Is the prize of law and order the stench of Wormwood Scrubs[/tab]
[tab] D C#/D B/D A/D A
With judges quick to sentence sending more down from above[/tab]
[tab] G D G
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands[/tab]
[tab] D A D
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand G D A D ...[/tab]
