The Worst Crime
There's a lynching in the squareYou will have to join usEveryone's going to be thereWe're setting up the trussOnce there was solutionsNow we have no excusesIt got lost in confusionSo we're preparing the nooses
Oh we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?
Blame misinformation, misguided leadersApathetic hesitation on educated readersFor whatever reasons, we now find ourselves in thisWe are all charged with treasonAnd there's no one left to hear
Oh we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?
We're the judge and the juryThe hangman, the convictsIt's too late for furyOur indictment was hand-pickedSo step out to the gallowsAnd accept your sentenceFor being so shallowYou must pay a penance
Oh we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?
Oh we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?
