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
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

No pity, no pity
E
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell

I'll see you in hell

See you in hell

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

No pity, no pity

Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell

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

Half
key step down
Full
