A Block
He

With a

Don’t

Come and

G
Kilowatt was an aging con of
G
65 who stood a chance to
C
stay alive
And leave the joint and
G
walk the streets
D
again
As the
D

He
D
suffered all the joy and fear
Of

pen

And

G
on the day of his release he

was approached by the police
Who

The

But it seems a state retainer
D
Claims another 10 years of your

out in the Texas
D
sunlight
The
Em
cops all stood a
D
round
Old
Em
Kilowatt ran
D
50 yards
Then
Am
threw himself down on the
D
ground

They might as

Em
well just have
D
laid
The old man
G

And we’re gonna
Em
raze, raze the
D
prisons
To the
G
ground
Help us
Em
raze, raze the
D
prisons
To the
G
ground
