one man is convicted of murder
a crooked officer maintains the curse
of a sin sick law
a country that is backwards and brute
full of people that are ignorant and vain
too many people claim to know the way
yet bow to every governor and mayor
no man has the authority to rule others
yet we allow them everyday
men decide who live and die
whether we accept it or not
or if we’re even conscious enough to know
one man is convicted of murder
and the world celebrates
while millions more crush the will of children
to attain everlasting life
you think you’ve achieved victory
instead you’ve been nailed to the cross
one more time
