[Chorus]
G                     C              G 
Well, I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               A            D
I don't need no irons on my feet
    G               C              G 
And I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               D            G
I don't need no irons on my feet

[Verse 1]
G                    C              G 
Well, if I die while I'm up here in prison
G              A               D
They will bury me inside these walls
      G                         C                    G 
And around my tombstone they'll wrap their rounds of razor wire
G                D               G
So my soul can't go back home to God

[Chorus]
G                     C              G 
Well, I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               A            D
I don't need no irons on my feet
    G               C              G 
And I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               D            G
I don't need no irons on my feet

[Verse 2]
G                      C                 G 
Well, there's no mercy past the gates of entry
G                         A               D
Guards got hearts that'll turn to solid stone
    G               C              G 
Oh, how can someone with a gun and billy club
G                        D                  G
Kill some boy whose just trying to get back home

[Verse 3]
G                       C              G 
Well, there's some evil people here in prison
    G              A             D
Oh, pedophiles and murderers and thieves
    G                       C             G 
But mostly though it's just petty drug offenders
        G                         D                   G
Who are trapped like lambs in the jaws of wolves like these

[Verse 4]
G                 C          G 
Oh, St. Peter and Gideon and Gabriel
   G                 A             D
Strike that note you struck in Jericho
        G               C                  G 
Let the horns of heaven wreck the walls of prison
    G                      D             G
And tell those assholes to let my people go

[Chorus]
G                     C              G 
Well, I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               A            D
I don't need no irons on my feet
    G               C              G 
And I don't need no shackles on my twinkle toes
G               D            G
I don't need no irons on my feet
