Something must be done about the lone man

Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan

He is eaten up with hate

Got your attention far too late

Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand

He seemed like such a nice guy

To his neighbors

Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors

Nobody ever knew him

There was nobody to see through him

He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers

Who's gonna be the hangman

Who's gonna be the judge

Who's gonna cast the first stone

Who'll settle up this grudge

It's so obvious the man is guilty

Tell me who is capable of showing any pity

Can anybody name the real assassin

No one's gonna take responsibility

How did this man come out of our society

Could our intervention

Have prevented his intention

Well you know he's gonna plead insanity

Who's gonna be the hangman

Who's gonna be the judge

Who's gonna cast the first stone

Who'll settle up this grudge

Who's gonna be the hangman

Who's gonna be the judge

Who's gonna cast the first stone

Who'll settle up this grudge

It's so obvious the man is guilty

Now tell me who is capable showing any pity

Can anybody name the real assassin
