 *this sounds cool!         *this was the toughest part to transcribe, but 
 12th fret 5th fret          I used my recorder switch to play the tape at 
(just above the harmonics)   1/2 speed.

-Lyrics- 
 
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home 
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on 
A world of violent rage 
But it's one that I can recognize 
Hanving never seen the colour of my father's eyes 
Yes, I dwell in hell but it's a hell that I can grip 
I tried to grip my family 
But I slipped 
To escape from the pain and an existance mundane 
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I got a name 
 
Read my writing on the wall 
No one's here to catch me when I fall 
But death in on my side 
Suicide 
 
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home 
Hatred passed on, passed on, passed on 
A world of violent rage 
But it's one I can recognize 
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes 
Yes, I dwell in hell but it's a hell that I can grip 
I tried to grip my family 
But I slipped 
To escape from the pain and an existance mundane 
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I got a name 
 
Read my writing on the wall 
No one's here to catch me when I fall 
Caught between my culture and the system 
Genocide 
 
Read my writing on the wall 
No one's here to catch me when I fall 
If ignorance is bliss 
Then knock the smile off my face 
 
If we don't take action now 
We settle for nothing later 
We'll settle for nothing now 
And we'll settle for nothing later
