Death Penalty Lyrics by Witchfinder General

Death Penalty

0

[Verse 1]
Life in prison, is it enough
For what they do?
One day soon, so very close
It could be you
A life for a life, that's the way
The only way I say
The chair is best, also sweet
The power's all we pay, yeah
[Chorus]
The power's all we pay
We'll end it all today
The power's all we pay
[Verse 2]
Thirty years is all they do
Less if they are good
All this time we pay their way
'Cause goodies say we should
Then they're out, they're on the loose
To do it once again
Back in they go, the more we pay
We say they are insane, yeah
[Chorus]
They say they are insane
Blown right out of their minds
Really gone insane
[Bridge]
The people's vote it should be cast
The murderers would not last
Eject the filth from lifestyle
Keep them just on file
To take a life it is a shame
They've only got themselves to blame
Death should be the penalty
Quick and cold and finally
[Verse 3]
Give them food and beds they say
And the people they will pay
Treat them good and talk to them
Teach them how to pray
Does it work? Of course not
We'll end it all today
As I said let's have a vote
Let them know our way, yeah
[Chorus]
Let them know our way
We'll execute today
We'll end it all today
[Outro]
How many victims unlawfully killed upon this earth?
Homicidal killers? Can you tell me what they're worth?
They never give a reason, they never tell you why
Well, save their souls, take their lives, let them die, oh let them die
Oh let them die
