You will have to join us
Everyone's going to be there
We're setting up the truss
Once there were solutions
Now we have no excuses
It got lost in confusion
So we're preparing the nooses
And oh, we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
Blame misinformation, misguided leaders
Apathetic hesitation, uneducated readers
For whatever reasons we now find ourselves in this
We are all charged with treason
And there's no one left to hear
And oh, we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
We're the judge and the jury
The hangman, the convict
It's too late for fury
Our indictment was hand-picked
So step out to the gallows
And accept your sentence
For being so shallow
You must pay a penance
And oh, we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
And oh, we had so much time
How could we commit the worst crime?
There's a lynching in the square You will have to join us Everyone's going to be there We're setting up the truss Once there were solutions Now we have no excuses It got lost in confusion So we're preparing the nooses And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? Blame misinformation, misguided leaders Apathetic hesitation, uneducated readers For whatever reasons we now find ourselves in this We are all charged with treason And there's no one left to hear And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? We're the judge and the jury The hangman, the convict It's too late for fury Our indictment was hand-picked So step out to the gallows And accept your sentence For being so shallow You must pay a penance And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? Explain Request ×
