Chord/Tab song: Frankland Prison Blues

Really enjoying Onsind currently. Have fun! PR

When I see a pr[D#]ison, I see a v[G]ested interest in re[G#]cidivism;
the righteous a[D#]nd pure on a moral mission, an a[G]wful draconian p[G#]lace
Will nobody lis[D#]ten? Can we ple[G]ase move beyond this[G#] simplistic vision?
Of 'intrinsi[D#]cally bad natured citizens' and t[G]he myth that it's keepi[G#]ng us safe.

When I see a prison I see an inconsistency,
I see differential treatment, I see widespread inequality
I see a failing system that is grinning in defeat,
I see a cycle that nobody's trying to break, a pattern that's built to repeat,

They say 'when you [D#]open up a school, you [G#]close a prison door'
Well we keep underf[Cm]unding education and lo[F]cking up the p[G#]oor
And I'm not sure w[D#]here this is heading, B[G#]ut I know it isn't great,
we turned our heads[Cm] away and they built a [F]prison state.[G#]
a prison st[F]ate

[D#]'Take me, take me an[G#]ywhere, I never really[Cm] cared about this freedom,
It was n[F]ever meant for m[G#]e
[D#]Lead me, lead me to my c[G#]ell, I deserve to be in [Cm]hell, there's your solution,
you should l[F]ock me up and t[G#]hrow away the k[F]ey, Eternal[G#]ly. Imprison m[D#]e.'
