Judas Priest - Death Row lyrics
[Judas Priest - Death Row lyrics]
We've all been detained
For the crimes we've committed
They stayed execution
But we'll never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
When they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams
Shake with fear electric chair
We're all inside homicide related
They'll show no mercy
And we don't anticipate it
Move a little closer
Every day to meet our maker
They cover up our face
And then they close the circuit breaker
Shake with fear the end is near
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh come on man give me a break
I made one mistake, that's all it takes
Shake with fear the end is near
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh, no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to death row
So what's the matter, son too young to die
Take it like a man don't cry
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Say a prayer, best beware it's not very nice
In the electric chair
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh, no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to death row
For the crimes we've committed
They stayed execution
But we'll never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
When they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams
Shake with fear electric chair
We're all inside homicide related
They'll show no mercy
And we don't anticipate it
Move a little closer
Every day to meet our maker
They cover up our face
And then they close the circuit breaker
Shake with fear the end is near
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh come on man give me a break
I made one mistake, that's all it takes
Shake with fear the end is near
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh, no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to death row
So what's the matter, son too young to die
Take it like a man don't cry
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Say a prayer, best beware it's not very nice
In the electric chair
Oh, no, I won't go
You'll never get me down to death row
Oh, no, they're taking me slow
One way ticket to death row
