Bm
Descending the cold steps
of the institution for the politically insane
Never to be seen again
Saying farewell to daylight
From henceforth I shall rot in
a stinking bed of wet straw

Bm
Right from the ashes of life
I learned to behave
What to believe, what not to say,
from cradle to grave
A
Ah, like a good little slave

Sucking my milk from the venomous
tit of the state
That's clearly designed to suppress
every thought of escape
Ah, I surrender to fate

Chorus:
Bm
No pity, no pity
                                   G      A
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy cell
                 E
I'll see you in hell
See you in hell

Frozen in time, I'm a specimen
pinned to my throne
With an army of butterflies pilloried,
placid and prone
Ah, we are never alone

Chorus

After centuries of living
with nothing but my convictions
Broken fingers clawing through
the walls of my incarceration
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
I was justified
