The Trial Lyrics by Brian Dewan

The Operating Theater

0

The court calls John Q. Public Nuisance to the stand
You are on trial for breaking laws throughout the land
Here a misdemeanor and there a felony
Remorselessly destroying private property
Breaking people's windows and vandalizing signs
Defacing public statues and condoning petty crimes
Dismiss the angry plaintiffs with a shrug or a guffaw
Hobby or profession, it is still against the law
The court calls John Q. Public Nuisance to the stand
You are on trial for disobeying God's command
In thought and word, in word and deed you have blasphemed
Now only by Christ's mercy can you be redeemed
Though you indulge an appetite for every sinful vice
Jesus offered up himself as a pascal sacrifice
He turned the other cheek and taught us to forgive
Did you not know he died that you and I may live?
Although it's evident you're guilty as can be
You've been acquitted on a technicality
The strife is o'er now, but in its aftermath
Jesus will be lenient, but God will show his wrath
