Verse 1
On death row
Somewhere in Arkansas
He sat insisting
He was innocent
But a DNA test to prove it
They straight up
Wouldn't allow it
He had an execution date
And they were going
To make damn sure
It was one date
For which he
Wasn't late
Chorus
Innocent man
Screwed by a state
That never gave a damn
DNA test could have saved him
But they wouldn't let it
Congrats assholes
You just executed
An innocent man
Verse 2
A DNA test
A test to save him
That's all he wanted
Pleaded with the court
But they said no
As once again
The system fails him
And lets him down
Mentally challenged
And all alone
Out of options
With only one
More place to go
Damn it Arkansas
How could you
Chorus
