Man I Killed - NOFX
Tuning: , E A D G B E
When they tigh
tly strap me i
n, give me let
hal injection,
Just a few mom
ents to live,
no remorse for
what I did,
It was for the
betterment of
man, I gave t
he utmost
sacrifice,
Before more da
mage could be
done I took hi
s life.
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured
the skin,
Beady eyes rol
led back in he
ad, the body d
ropped from th
e
poison,
They could inc
apacitate me,
but could not
erase my sneer
,
I heard a thou
sand people sc
reaming, while
three billion
others cheered
,
He was gone, a
nd I would soo
n be...
Executed by th
e state, all a
ppeals would b
e in vain,
I was not crim
inally insane,
in fact, I wa
s found to be,
An otherwise c
aring and resp
ectable member
of society,
A minor threat
, except for t
hat one man I
killed.
As the sedativ
es take effect
, I just smile
, close my eye
s,
There's a prie
st kneeling ne
xt to me, he a
sks me if I
realise,
I was going st
raight to hell
, and he thoug
ht that I shou
ld
know,
That the man I
killed’s repl
acement planne
d this whole
Scenario,
And what I did
had no signif
icance at all.
