G C G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection
Bm Em C D
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did
G C G
It's for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice
Bm C G
Before more damage could be done I took his life
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G G/F# Em C
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin
G D
Beady eye roll back in head, body drop from the poison
G G/F# Em C
They could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer
G D
I heard a thousand people screaming while three billion others cheered
Em C D
He was gone, and I would soon be
[Verse 2]
G C G
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain
Bm Em C D
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be
G C G
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society
Bm C G
A minor threat except for that one man I killed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G G/F# Em C
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes
G D
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize
G G/F# Em C
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know
G D
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario
Em C D G
and what I did had no significance at all
