Death Penalty

Tank


Democratic nations continue executing muredreres 
Innocents youths and victims of racist justice. 
The death penalty doesn't deter 
Doesn't satisfy, doesn't add up - all is does is kill 

I feel the noose get tight 
Feel the injection needle 
The gas is choking me 
O god, my flesh is burning 

I'm alone in a cell, doctor checked, I'm alive and well 
Got a lunch a la carte, 'cos tonight I'm going to hell 

Four long years they've been killing me 
Every day hope and desperation 
Will it be today? Did I get a stay? 
I'm guilty...does it help to pray...no, no, I'm innocent 

Death penalty 
On death row, I'm death but still alive 
Death penalty 
What is it like, when every day's your last? 
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 
Prison personel always wear a smile 

Priest tells me "Son, this is a best way" 
If God's love then why crucify? 
Blinded by the flesh of the media 
A final portrait of the beast before the slaughter's one 

Death penalty 
On death row, I'm death but still alive 
Death penalty 
What is it like, when every day's your last? 
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 
Prison personel always wear a smile 

Shaven clean, electrodes sucked tight 
Want to scream, but I'm paralyzed 
Electricity tearing through my veins 
The path is ripping me apart, but I'm not dead just yet 

Death penalty 
On death row, I'm death but still alive 
Death penalty 
What is it like, when every day's your last? 
Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 
Prison personel always wear a smile 

Death penalty 
On death row, I'm death but still alive 
You don't now what is like, when every day's death penalty
