Em (riff)
Raised in a prison with iron bars
And walls too high to be climbed
Raised in a four cornered corridor
Always kept silent and blind

Break: repeat Em riff x4


[Em]    Taught how to grow straight and upright
[C]     Taught how to love and obey
[Em]    Taught how to speak when you're spoken to
[A]     And then taught what you can say

Break: repeat Em riff x4

[Em]    Thrown into a job at a factory
[C]     Making money for those up above
[Em]    Running and fetching and fetching and running
[A]     Slot into the job like a glove

Break: repeat Em riff x4

[Em]    Marry a boy from the factory
[C]     His dream was a girl just like you
[Em]    Running and fetching and fetching and running
[A]     She was taught this was what she should do

Break: repeat Em riff x4

[Em]    Renting a house on the East Side of hell
[C]     With garden and wonderful view
[Em]    Of kids playing war in the street after school
[A]     Who were taught this was what they should do

Different Break: play verse chords

[Em]    Watching the TV till hubby comes home
[C]     Unable to stand on his feet
[Em]    Black and white pictures of policemen with sticks
[A]     Smashing fuck out of kids on the street

Break: repeat Em riff x8
Em
Raised in a prison with iron bars
And walls too high to be climbed
Raised in a four cornered corridor
Always kept silent and blind

Break: repeat Em riff x8
