Is it a crime to live when you cannot afford the means?

Is it a secret thrill to know the gods are on your side?

Em D G C
The smoke still clouds my wits. The stink still fills my pores
Am Em D D
From the night they kicked down the door, down the door, down the door
Em D G C
The blood still stains my lips. The grief still chafes my soul
Am Em D D
My pride was raked through the coals, through the coals, through the coals
Em D G C
Yonder prison walls, they own my flesh and bones
Am Em D D
But my thoughts are mine alone, mine alone, mine alone
