作词 : Bragg | |
I stood before the judge that day | |
As he refused me bail | |
And i knew that i would spend my time | |
Awaiting trial in jail | |
I said there is no justice | |
As they led me out of the door | |
And the judge said, "this isn't a court of justice, son | |
This is a court of law." | |
They first sent me to windsor | |
And then to stoke on trent | |
In a holding cell in liverpool | |
Three days and nights i spent | |
My solicitor can't find me | |
And my family don't know | |
I keep telling them that i'm innocent | |
They just say, "come on son, in you go." | |
I was picked up on suspicion of something i haven't done | |
Here i sit in 'f' wing waiting for my trial to come | |
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands | |
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand | |
I ended up in this jail | |
Built in 1882 | |
When one man to one prison cell | |
Was a victorian value | |
Now three of us are squeezed in here | |
And you can't escape the smell | |
Of that bucket in the corner | |
And we eat in here as well | |
They let me out of this cage | |
To slop that bucket out | |
To get my food and bring it back | |
And if i'm lucky, get a shower | |
Apart from one hour's exercise | |
I'm locked in here all day | |
You don't turn criminals into citizens | |
By treating them this way | |
Is the price of law and order the stench of wormwood scrubs | |
With judges quick to sentence more down from above | |
It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands | |
Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand |
