[Verse 1]
G5
When they tightly strap me in,
C5 G5
give me lethal injection,
B5 E5
Just a few moments to live,
C5 D5
no remorse for what I did,
G5
It was for the betterment of man,
C5 G5
I gave the utmost sacrifice,
B5 C5 G5
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
[Chorus]
E5/B C5
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured
the skin,
G5
Beady eyes rolled back in head,
D/F#
body dropped from the poison,
E5/B
They could incapacitate me,
C5
but could not erase my sneer,
G5
I heard a thousand people screaming,
D/F#
while three billion others cheered,
E5 C5 D5
He was gone, and I would soon be...
[Verse 2]
G5
Executed by the state,
C5 G5
all appeals would be in vain,
B5
I was not criminally insane, in fact,
C5 G5
I was found to be,
G5 C5 G5
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
B5
A minor threat,
C5 G5
except for that one man I killed.
[Chorus]
E5/B
As the sedatives take effect,
C5
I just smile and close my eyes,
G5
There's a priest kneeling next to me,
D/F#
he asks me if I realize,
E5/B
I was going straight to hell,
C5
and he thought that I should know,
G5 D/F#
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole
scenario,
E5 C5 D5 G
And what I did had no significance at all.
[Outro]
