ON DEATH ROW

ON DEATH ROW





On death row, lost all appeals

Waiting for the dead man walking hour

Last request at your behest

Ordered Chinese food with sweet and sour

Mount the metal table for lethal injection

They say you don’t feel any pain

But they cannot guarantee that’s true

Cause you’re too numb to complain

They say we don’t execute retards

Or kill kids that are under age

Nor kill any innocent folk

With our indignant rage

A pound of flesh is what’s due

Justice must be avenged

Hang em high let em fry

All crimes must be revenged

Make a movie, call it “Monster”

Make sure she gets the chair

When will we every have compassion

For souls with out love or care.
