C                                  G                D
  Billy Rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name
D
Busted on a drunken charge
D
Driving someone else's car
    D                                 G
The local midnight sheriff's claim to fame

      G                      G
In an Arizona jail there are some who tell the tale, how
C                                  G              D
Billy fought the sergeant for some milk that he demanded
D
Knowing they'd remain the boss
D
Knowing he would pay the cost
     D                        G
They saw he was severely reprimanded

       Em               D
In the blackest cell on A Block
   Em                D
He hanged himself at dawn
       Em                D
With a note stuck to the bunk head
      Am                         D
Don't mess with me, just take me home

         Em           D
Come and lay, help us lay

For coming across the border with a baby and a wife
           D
Though the clothes upon his back were wet
D
Still he thought that he could get
     D                           G
Some money and things to start a life

   G                                 G
It hadn't been too very long when it seemed like everything went wrong
     C                            G                 D
They didn't even have the time to find themselves a home
     D
This foreigner, a brown-skin male
D
Thrown inside a Texas jail
   D                             G
It left the wife and baby quite alone

   Em               D
He eased the pain inside him
       Em            D
With a needle in his arm
        Em             D
But the dope just crucified him
   Am                      D
He died to no one's great alarm

         Em           D
Come and lay, help us lay
           G
Young Luna down
                Em             D
And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
       G
To the ground

Kilowatt was an aging con of 65 who stood a chance to stay alive
                        G                D
And leave the joint and walk the streets again
       D
As the time he was to leave drew near
   D
He suffered all the joy and fear
   D                       G
Of leaving 35 years in the pen

    G                            G
And on the day of his release he was approached by the police
    C                              G             D
Who took him to the warden walking slowly by his side
    D
The warden said "You won't remain here
D
But it seems a state retainer
D                               G
Claims another 10 years of your life."

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

              Em             D
They might as well just have laid
            G
The old man down
                Em             D
And we're gonna raze, raze the prisons
       G
To the ground
        Em             D
Help us raze, raze the prisons
       G
To the ground
