Frankland Prison Blues(Chords)

	        

	       D#	      G			  G# 
When I see a prison, I see a vested interest in recidivism;  
	       D#	                       G               G# 
the righteous and pure on a moral mission, an awful draconian place 
	       D#	      G			  G# 
Will nobody listen? Can we please move beyond this simplistic vision?  
	      D#	                         G			  G# 
Of ?intrinsically bad natured citizens? and the myth that it?s keeping 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 open up a school, you close a prison door? 
		   Cm			  F		G# 
Well we keep underfunding education and locking up the poor 
		    D#			   G# 
And I?m not sure where this is heading, But I know it isn?t great,  
		   Cm			  F		G# 
we turned our heads away and they built a prison state.

a prison state 


D#		      G#		    Cm				      
?Take me, take me anywhere, I never really cared about this freedom,  
        F	        G# 
It was never meant for me  
D#		        G#    	                Cm	        
Lead me, lead me to my cell, I deserve to be in hell, there?s your solution,  
	    F		   G#		  F	     G#		   D# 
you should lock me up and throw away the key, Eternally. Imprison me.?
