Today we killed a man for killing

Wouldn't you know it, he was willing

Can't say the same for the chosen few

And in the classroom down the street

Children are taught revenge isn't sweet

And we wonder why they bring their daddies guns to school



So before you go to bed, say a prayer for those unsaid

Who never got the one wish they could've used

And the prisoners on death row are shown mercy and let go

Before remorse pays them a visit long overdue



And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV

We'd never have to watch the evening news

And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand

That us little people need protection too, 

cause I'm just as scared as you...



So we execute the guilty to justify our safety 

that finally someone is getting what they deserve

And how sadistic have we become to market human destruction and televise with commercials afterwards

Saying you heard it here first...



And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV

We'd never have to watch the evening news

And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand

That us little people need protection too, 

cause I'm just as scared as you...



Who's right is to take a life for a life

Give a dying man his wish to see the light

Inject the criminals so full of chemicals that he glows from head to toe

And leaves this world less painful...

than what he's done to us.



And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV

We'd never have to watch the evening news

And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand

That us little people need protection too, 

cause I'm just as scared as you,

just as scared as you...(X3)
