Death to America

Sentenced to death for binging death upon another?

Killing murderers to prove to other murderers

Because it is the wrong thing to do?

YET .. killing is "wrong"

HA!

An eye for an eye, thats what we say

But they're the government

THIS is justice. THIS is equality.

Who are we to question such almighty authority?

Human. 

Oh how HUMANE!

How do you prove that murder is wrong and unforgiveable?

Oh by killing them of course!

Its quite simple don't you see?

You kill to get killed, plain as 1, 2, 3

What makes the death sentence right?

Ohhh yeahhhh, the government. 

How could I forget?

Silly me, I actually thought ...

For just a second that they were human

Oh how humane!

To think so robotically? Its the new fad.

Its totally what's in these days

The government, or should I say "tin man"

Stays up all night wtching a blank tv

While his hair turns white worrying 

About the problems he and his past generations created

Worrying and making more each day

The hole gets deeper, all the while, the "tin man"

In his big elaborate mansion living comfortably

And by his own laws, eats his daily 3 course dinner

If he only had a heeeaarrtttt

HA!

Ohhhh how HUMANE

Society claims they cherish the life

Of each and every individual

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?"

I kill him

You kill me

So .. who kills you?
