 BB              AbAb
Tacoma Center sixteen hundred suffer sleepless nights
  F#F#                E MajorE
no phone calls home to families, no reading, no Miranda rights
 BB                AbAb
a second tier of prison, as if the first was not enough
      F#F#
it seems a citizen?s great promise is
 E MajorE
a place to sleep when they lock you up

                   BB
But either way, they are commodifying someone,
      E MajorE               BB
as if said someone ever could just fade away:
  E MajorE                  BB
the dreary endless days don?t pass like numbers on a page,
      AbAb                 F#F#
they sit in silence ?til they rail against the irons of their cage

      BB          AbAb
But such a casual addition to supplies, to chains, to flows
     F#F#               E MajorE
tucked between logistics systems, a lock factory, a railroad
  BB                AbAb
as billboards picture families, reunited in their homes
   F#F#
buses carry ?unnamed? inmates
      E MajorE
to unnamed jails, to unnamed roads

                 BB
It is a euphemistic package for apartheid
     E MajorE                BB
a billion dollars earned in someone else?s blood
 E MajorE            BB
a manufactured answer to a xenophobic question:
    AbAb              F#F#
how to monetize the labors lost from deportation trolls

      E MajorE           BB
Hundred and twenty five dollars a head
      E MajorE           BB
hundred and twenty five dollars a bed
    E MajorE            BB
and on weekends we gathered outside of the gates
    AbAb            F#F#
just to read off the name of the dead

         AbAb
I must say it?s a strange sense of sedition
    F#F#
just to show the hopes we?d hold
       E MajorE       BB
contract the contradict contrition
      E MajorE          BB
of soulless states, of stateless souls


(No chords)
Oh eugenic organs, how you beat, constrict, and breathe
And oh you magic markets do detain, defeat, deceive
and on the edge of this gross city, your mixed metaphors conceive
remuneration, replication, yes, interminably.

BB             F#F#          E MajorE
Oh eugenic organs, how you beat, constrict, and breathe
  BB             F#F#       E MajorE
And oh you magic markets do detain, defeat, deceive
      BB                  F#F#      E MajorE
and on the edge of this gross city, your mixed metaphors conceive
    BB             F#F#     E MajorE
