Death Penalty Lyrics - Tankard

Democratic nations continue executing muredreres 

Innocents youths and victims of racist justice. 

The death penalty doesn't deter 

Doesn't satisfy, doesn't add up - all is does is kill 

I feel the noose get tight 

Feel the injection needle 

The gas is choking me 

O god, my flesh is burning 

I'm alone in a cell, doctor checked, I'm alive and well 

Got a lunch a la carte, 'cos tonight I'm going to hell 

Four long years they've been killing me 

Every day hope and desperation 

Will it be today? Did I get a stay? 

I'm guilty...does it help to pray...no, no, I'm innocent 

Death penalty 

On death row, I'm death but still alive 

Death penalty 

What is it like, when every day's your last? 

Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 

Prison personel always wear a smile 

Priest tells me "Son, this is a best way" 

If God's love then why crucify? 

Blinded by the flesh of the media 

A final portrait of the beast before the slaughter's one 

Death penalty 

On death row, I'm death but still alive 

Death penalty 

What is it like, when every day's your last? 

Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 

Prison personel always wear a smile 

Shaven clean, electrodes sucked tight 

Want to scream, but I'm paralyzed 

Electricity tearing through my veins 

The path is ripping me apart, but I'm not dead just yet 

Death penalty 

On death row, I'm death but still alive 

Death penalty 

What is it like, when every day's your last? 

Manis, crazy, wired, hopeless, crying, tired 

Prison personel always wear a smile 

Death penalty 

On death row, I'm death but still alive 

You don't now what is like, when every day's death penalty
