 *this sounds cool!         *this was the toughest part to transcribe, but
 12th fret 5th fret          I used my recorder switch to play the tape at

(just above the harmonics)   1/2 speed.

-Lyrics-


A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognize
Hanving never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain and an existance mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I got a name

Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I fall
But death in on my side
Suicide

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on, passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one I can recognize
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain and an existance mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I got a name

Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I fall
Caught between my culture and the system
Genocide

Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I fall
If ignorance is bliss
Then knock the smile off my face

If we don't take action now
We settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
