lyrics

While the boys have held him down
and their boots are on his throat
Tie up his hands and ankles with the finest heavy rope
Then give the whip a crack
And let the horses do their work
While they drag him by his feet on thru the pavement and the dirt
Hopefully he lasts until we hang him in the square
For the crowds with all their bricks and stones
And whatever they’ve prepared
Get their fill
Now that all the tables turned we gleefully rejoice
Can we find a brand new kind of pain that’s equal to his voice
It’s a shame the body’s got so old that it cannot endure
All the innovative tortures we were hoping to explore
It’s a shame
Oh That feeling that you get
No I can’t describe at all
When you scream inside the senate house that it’s time to face the wall
Oh our rifles say the rest
As we point towards the door
And line them in the hallway with their eyes towards the floor
Make sure to count your bullets as you dare to paint the walls
And a helpful match and kerosene will help you clean the halls
Afterwards
You may say that this is evil and I will not disagree
But sometimes you need some evil if you want to be set free
You may say that we’re no different than the horror we replaced
But you can’t fix a broken sewer with a clean and dirtless face
It’s a shame
