Am          C         D       C
I hear the bells of freedom chiming
    Am         C       D        C
And inside my heart I feel I'm dying
Am         C     D     C
Wise guys never compromise
           Am          C              D        C
Then they loose their rights and they act surprised
Am           C       D       C
Jail really cuts ya down to size

Chorus:
         Am         F        G
Let the punishment fit the crime
     Am        F       G
The footprints on the sand of time
     Am        F       G
The philosophy of the poet's rhyme
       Am   F     G
Make a man humble in his prime

You can go up, down, or sideways
Be on death row, counting the days
They say the answers are blowing in the wind
And to take yourself out would really be a sin
You just have to cope and start over again

Chorus

Little child cries in his sleep
And life makes promises it can't keep
And then feel you had, had enough
You realize somehow, someway
Your destiny was planned from the very first day

Chorus - x2

        Am          F        G
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
Let the punishment fit the crime
