[Verse 1]
G#5 C#5 B5
She took me in and fed me kindly
E5 F#5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
G#5 C#5 B5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
E5 F#5
Then she shouted her name into the street
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
G#5 C#5 B5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
E5 F#5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
G#5 C#5 B5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
E5 F#5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]
C#5 G#5
Raise your voice, Joyce

She paid her way

She's not a slave

[Verse 2]
G#5 C#5 B5
I still think I'd like to leave
E5 F#5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
G#5 C#5 B5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
E5 F#5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
G#5 C#5 B5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
E5 F#5
in the filth when I started to cry
G#5 C#5 B5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
E5 F#5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
F#5 G#5 C#5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
G#5 C#5
You are the only you who's ever been
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
G#5 C#5 G#5 C#5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
[Chorus]

Raise your voice, Joyce
C#5 G#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
C#5 F#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
F#5 C#5
Raise your voice, Joyce
C#5 G#5
She paid her way
C#5 G#5
She's not a slave
C#5 F#5
Joyce Tops
F#5 C#5
