One Of Many Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

you're only one of many 

of small account if any 

you think about yourself too much 

this touch the child with the quick touch 

and worked his mind to such a pitch, 

he threw his fellows in a ditch 

this little child who was so mild is grown too wild 

"murder in the first degree," cried old fury 

recording the verdict of the jury 

now we come to the execution tree 

the gallows stand wide on me 

"Christ died for sinners," explained the prison chaplain 

from his miscellany 

weeping bitterly, 

the little child cried," I die one of many"
