The Prosecutor

(album: Say It Out Loud - 2016)

(His original name was!)

He's been around since the dawn of the ages
If you read between the lines when you turn the pages
He feeds off of darkness, lust and greed, pride, sloth, wrath, envy and gluttony
But I cast him out, got the light on my side
I'll be better off without him 'cause I know he lies
He's a snake with a rattle, yeah I've heard that buzz
His original name was

The prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
Yeah, he's a liar, I am water, he is fire
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case

He doesn't work for the county, doesn't work for the state
He only works for his cause and his cause is hate
He doesn't work for the people, no pro bono
From the depths of hell, fallen angel
Now he's probably down on the bottom floor
Waiting for mass shooting or another world war
He's a rotten one, so hold your applause
His original name was

The prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
Yeah, he's a liar, I am water, he is fire
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case

La la la...

He doesn't work for the county, doesn't work for the state
He only works for his cause and his cause is hate
He doesn't work for the people, no pro bono
From the depths of hell, fallen angel
I cast him out, got the light on my side
I'll be better off without him, 'cause I know he lies
He's a snake with a rattle and I've heard that buzz
His original name was

The prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
Yeah, he's a liar, I am water, he is fire
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
No no no no
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
No no no
He's the prosecutor and he doesn't have a case
