Life in prison! Is it enough

For what they do?

One day soon, so very close

It could be you

A life for a life, that's the way

The only way I say

The chair is best, oh so sweet

The power's all we pay

The power's all we pay

We'll end it all today

The power's all we'll pay

Thirty years is what they do

Less if they are good

All this time we pay their way

'Cos goodies say we should

Then they're out, they're on the loose

To do it once again

Back in they go, the more we pay

We say they are insane

They say they are insane

Blown right out of their minds

Really gone insane.

The people's vote it should be cast

The murderers would not last

Eject the filth from my lifestyle

Keep them just on file

To take a life it is a shame

With only themselves to blame

Death should be the penalty

Quick and cold and finally yeah

Give them food and beds they say

The people they will pay

Treat them good and talk to them

Teach them how to pray

Does it work, of course not

We'll end it all today

As I said let's have a vote

Let them know our way

Let them know our way

We'll execute today

The power's all we'll pay

How many victims unlawfully killed upon this earth

Homicidal killers? Can you tell me what they're worth?

They never give a reason, they never tell you why

We'll save their souls, take their lives, Let them die Oh let them die

Oh let them die
