Metallica - The Shortest Straw lyrics

Suspicion is your name your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame dishonor
Witch hunt, modern day determining decay
The blatant disarray disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying commonplace unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening painstaking
Reckoning this vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw challenge liberty
Downed by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witch hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die intruding
Doubt sunk it'self in you
Its teeth and talons through
You're living Catch-22 deluding
A mass hysteria a megalomania
Reveal dementia reveal

Secretly silently
Certainly in vertigo you will be

Shortest straw challenge liberty
Downed by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witch hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

(Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
Pulled for you (Shortest straw)
The shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied upending
The fallout has begun oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none to nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear defending

Channels red one word said
Blacklisted with vertigo make you dead

Shortest straw challenge liberty
Downed by law live in infamy
Rub you raw witch hunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
