G G                          C C   G G
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Am Am F F C C D D
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
G G C C G G
Was for the benefit of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
D D C C G G
Before more damage could be done I took his life.

Em Em C C G G
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
D D G G
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
Em Em C C G G
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
D D G G
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
Em Em C C D D
He was gone, and I would soon be...


G G CG
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
Am AmF F C C D D
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be,
G G C C G G
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
D D C C G G
A A minor threat except for that one man I killed.

Em Em C C G G
As the se-datives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
D D G G
There?s a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize,
Em Em C C G G
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
D D G G
That the man I killed?s replacement planned this whole scenario,
Em Em C C D D G G
And what I did had no significance at all.
