Intro
G D Em C D 2x
Verse 1
G D Em C D
Judge not lest ye be judged by every single person on this Earth who has a heart
G D Em C D
And pay mind to those you lock up and remember every singe family you tore apart
G D
And every singe dirty kid youve taken off the street
Em C D
For the upper class' sake still has a bleeding heart that beats
G D
And every single penny you make probationers pay
Em C D G
Will reflect poorly on your record if and when there is a judgment day
Instr Break
G D Em C D
Chorus 1
G D Em C D
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free
G D Em C D
Needless incarceration is a plague on society
Instr
G D Em C D
Verse 2
G D Em C D
Careful when you cruise around with lights blue and red in your car black and white
G D
And careful when you draw your gun,
Em C D G
The people that you k**l should be the ones who say what's wrong and what is right
G D Em C D
Careful when you lie in bed and think before you sleep, you might begin to realize your life is incomplete
G D
If the only thoughts inside your head are the ones your system gave to you,
Em C D G
Careful or you'll start to think up your own definition of the truth
Instr
G D Em C D
Chorus 2
G D Em C D
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free
G D Em C D
But heartless judges and crooked cops are all that I can see
Instr
G D Em C D
Verse 3
G D Em C D G
So spare me the lecture of how you've got power over me because this jail belongs to you
D
I'd like to see you shit your stripes
Em C D G
And make tallies of the nights that you spend crying through your window at the moon
D
And finally feel the hate we feel towards cops and magistrates
Em C D
And understand there is no hope for you to rehabilitate
G D
Yourself or anybody else from inside of an eight-by-eight
Em C D G
You'll spend every waking moment on your ass in fear of prison rape
Chorus 3
G D Em C D
As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free
G D Em C D G
We can burn the jails down and rid the world of inequality
