The Worst Crime

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
There's a lynching in the squareYou will have to join usEveryone's going to be thereWe're setting up the trussOnce there were solutionsNow we have no excusesIt got lost in confusionSo we're preparing the noosesAnd oh, we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?Blame misinformation, misguided leadersApathetic hesitation, uneducated readersFor whatever reasons we now find ourselves in thisWe are all charged with treasonAnd there's no one left to hearAnd oh, we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?We're the judge and the juryThe hangman, the convictIt's too late for furyOur indictment was hand-pickedSo step out to the gallowsAnd accept your sentenceFor being so shallowYou must pay a penanceAnd oh, we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?And oh, we had so much timeHow could we commit the worst crime?
