Tankard - Death Penalty lyrics
[Tankard - Death Penalty lyrics]
Democratic nations continue
Executing murderers
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 guiltydoes it help to prayno, 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel always wear a smile
Shaven clean, electrodes sucked tight
Want to scream, but I'm paralyzed
Electricity tearing through my veins
The pain 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel always wear a smile
Death penalty
On death row, I'm death but still alive
Death penalty, death penalty what is it like
When every day is death penalty?
Executing murderers
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 guiltydoes it help to prayno, 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel always wear a smile
Shaven clean, electrodes sucked tight
Want to scream, but I'm paralyzed
Electricity tearing through my veins
The pain 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?
Manic, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired
Prison personnel always wear a smile
Death penalty
On death row, I'm death but still alive
Death penalty, death penalty what is it like
When every day is death penalty?
