Raised on Prisoner's Aid

And it's written all over my face

Last Verse
       C5             D5      E5 B5 C5 D5
On the day that your mentality 
C5                    D5    E5 B5 C5 D5
Catches up with your biology 

           A5                 B5 
And if you ever need self-validation
     C5                           D5
Just meet me in the alley by the railway station 
A5       B5      C5   D5
It's all over my face
