The Man I Killed Lyrics - Nofx

When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection 

Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did 

It was for the betterment of man, I made the utmost sacrifice 

Before more damage could be done I took his life 

There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin 

Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison 

They could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer 

I heard a thousand people screaming, I know three billion others cheered 

He was gone and I would soon be 

Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain 

I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be 

An otherwise caring and respectable member of society 

A minor threat except for that one man I killed

As the sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes 

There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize 

I was going straight to hell and he thought that I should know 

That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario 

And what I did had no significance at all
