lyrics

G_________________________C_____G
The wardens sang the 12 days of Christmas
______Bm_______E7____A
for the boys on the factory floor
_________D_________G___________Bm___F#
Where the prisoners all slaved to make quota today
______F_____________G_________Am_
And truncheons rang the bars on the door
_______F__________G__________C
And the children who played in their cages
______Bm_____________F#________G
Got a chocolate bar and a fresh cup of pills
_____G7__________________C
This’ll be the best Christmas in ages
_____Bm_________F#7______G___F#7
Don’t tell us if you’re going to be ill
Bm E7 A Am Am F Am Dm G# Am F E Am Dm G# Gm G C G C Cmin

The boys in the border militia
Trade gifts by the old concrete wall
And guzzle their brews where that twit on the news
Found the place where we buried them all
And the prison guards polished their rifles
And tape garland to the armory shelves
While the children still sleep on the tiles
And no one can speak for themselves
