Death by Firing Squad
Well, you’re been seeing all the things that I’ve been seeing with my eyes
And hearing with your ears and dealing with the times
If it wasn’t enough the execution they botched
For their next big trick, they want you all to watch
When they push him in a wheelchair out in the yard
String him up by a rope and go and blow up his heart
When the murderer’s dead and his head’s in a bag
Will it help you forget the way that you got had?
Yeah. Nothing pleases Jesus like a firing squad
Something ’bout a public death’s pleasing to God
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by now. I should know
Genius has limits, stupidity don’t
In the Christian-Values Administration
They got real good lawyers for the allegations
On the great fool’s errand of folly and death
Save a cell in the jail for old Pete Hegseth
If it’s what you gotta do for murderous fool
Then what should be done, when you blow up a school?
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by now. I should know
Restraint has its limits, depravity don’t
They got the Midwest stirred up on a rage at a rally
Cheering death to the folds in LA
If you could look up from the slop
That they pour in the trough
You’d see the fight that you’re fighting ain’t the one needing fought
It ain’t “you versus me”, man
It’s “down versus up”
But I reckon that there ain’t a lot left to do
Than to go and make a killing pay-per-view
I know I shouldn’t be surprised by now. I shouldn’t wonder
If there really is a god, then our nation’s under it
Many men have debated it over the years
Many on the search for truth
But if it ain’t a thing that you can stand to watch
Should it even be a thing that you do?
