[Spoken]
Cm
Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane
Am
Never to be seen again
Gm
Saying farewell to daylight
Am
From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw
[Verse]
B F#m
Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave
B F#m
What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave
A G
Ah, like a good little slave
B F#m
Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state
B F#m
This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape
A G
Ah, I surrender to fate
[Chorus]
D G Bbm
D G Bbm
D G Bbm
F#m
No pity, no pity
E
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell
F#m
I'll see you in hell
E F#
See you in hell
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
B F#m
Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne
B F#m
With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone
A G
Ah, we were never alone

[Spoken]
Cm Am
After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions
Cm Am
Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarcerations
Cm Am
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
Bm
I was justified
