No capo
[Intro]

[Verse]
Derek BmLee, where is he?
In the F#mWhite House sipping tee
Shot his F#wife with a fortyBmthree
Laws will Bmbend if you're grand,
A broken F#mheart is hard to mend
On a F#cheating wife you can't deBmpend
[Chorus]
It's Bmlockdown for the F#mbroken
'cause F#God has Bmspoken
It's Bmlockdown for the forF#mgotten ones
Their F#daughters Bmand their sons
[Verse]
Linda BmRay was a maid
Cleaning F#mtoilets everyday
Every F#night she used to pray for Bmchange
What? Did Bmshe hurt your knee?
That was F#mquite a felony
Attempt of F#murder, second degBmree
[Chorus]
It's Bmlockdown for the F#mbroken
F#God has Bmchosen
It's Bmlockdown for the forF#mgotten ones
Their F#daughters Bmand their sons
[Verse]
Jimmy BmReddal got a medal
F#mShot some folks, got settled
F#Mansion in BmPhilly
One missing Bmlink says his shrink
Bombed a F#mship and made it sink
Quite a F#hero now, isn't Bmhe?
[Chorus]
It's Bmlockdown for the F#mbroken
'cause F#God has Bmspoken
It's Bmlockdown for the forF#mgotten ones
Their F#daughters Bmand their sons

With Bmguns and F#mtasers
F#Hide all the Bmrazors
Thick Bmbars so F#mthey won't fight
Now F#we can sleep Bmgood tonight
Now F#we can sleep Bmgood tonight
