If you could bring yourself to do it
you'd get a sword and run them through with it,
but you can't because you're civilised,

no one dies on my watch.

Of course
my eyesight's shot to hell,
hearing as well which is
just as well,
if you can't hear the screaming
and see the crying
no one is dying,
right?

but we all know that the
song and dance they make
about the right and wrong
is only there to take us
further away from the
truth.
