| I stood before the judge that day | |
| As he refused me bail | |
| And i knew that i would spend my time | |
| Awaiting trial in jail | |
| I said there is no justice | |
| As they led me out of the door | |
| And the judge said, "this isn't a court of justice, son | |
| This is a court of law." | |
| They first sent me to windsor | |
| And then to stoke on trent | |
| In a holding cell in liverpool | |
| Three days and nights i spent | |
| My solicitor can't find me | |
| And my family don't know | |
| I keep telling them that i'm innocent | |
| They just say, "come on son, in you go." | |
| I was picked up on suspicion of something i haven't done | |
| Here i sit in 'f' wing waiting for my trial to come | |
| It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands | |
| Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand | |
| I ended up in this jail | |
| Built in 1882 | |
| When one man to one prison cell | |
| Was a victorian value | |
| Now three of us are squeezed in here | |
| And you can't escape the smell | |
| Of that bucket in the corner | |
| And we eat in here as well | |
| They let me out of this cage | |
| To slop that bucket out | |
| To get my food and bring it back | |
| And if i'm lucky, get a shower | |
| Apart from one hour's exercise | |
| I'm locked in here all day | |
| You don't turn criminals into citizens | |
| By treating them this way | |
| Is the price of law and order the stench of wormwood scrubs | |
| With judges quick to sentence more down from above | |
| It's a cruel unusual punishment that society demands | |
| Innocent till proven guilty, rotting on remand |
