The Prosecution

(album: The Dead Eye - 2006)

It's a waste of kindness and hard-earned cash
A trap for those in possession of doubt lacking choices
Through all these misgivings an arrogant smile
You're the perfect victim

Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, I just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
You're so amusing

I saw what you did, and how much it hurt you
Some things never heal
They'll approve for as long as you fall
On spit-covered concrete
And gold plate stars

The greed is appalling
Your soul is a ghost
Now your flesh is for sale

Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
You're pulling teeth of pleasure

Well, if this is the road we choose
If this is the path preferred
If this is where we're headed now
Welcome to hell...

So fuck your mask
Fuck your bland conceit
Fuck your precious croonies too
Confess
Stooge

Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
You're pulling teeth of pleasure

Well, if this is the road we choose
If this is the path preferred
If this is where we're headed now
