Lyrics
I'm standing trial for the crime of the century. I'm watching witnesses go up just to speak down on me. I'm taking verbal bullets that no armor could deflect. I'm thinking that I have no reason to ever object. Flashback: I guess I'll take you back a couple years. I'm standing in a hallway with a girl who's broken down in tears. "I can't believe all of the things that you just said to me! I hope you die, because from now on, you are dead to me!" Back in the present, the prosecutor steps up to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, we offer to you exhibit A: Insulted feelings...how it's simply reprehensible! Let's string him up now, simply based upon the principle!" And now we act insulted. We're never to be faulted. What do you say when nobody wants to hear the truth? Where do you go when everyone's got their eye out on you? How do you look at yourself with such a fog around your head? When do you finally turn yourself in? Back in the courtroom, "We submit now exhibit B: A tear-stained tissue from the defendant's lack of courtesy!" One witness claims: He told me things I didn't want to hear! Another states: He really did! I heard it with my own two ears! Exhibit C and D and E and every letter up through Z - Show that I have a severe lack of sensitivity. What ever happened to appreciating honesty? Oh, nevermind. Ignorance is such a luxury! I can't believe that you'd dare! Say things that I don't want to hear?!? What do you say when nobody wants to hear the truth? Where do you go when everyone's got their eye out on you? How do you look at yourself with such a fog around your head? When do you finally turn yourself in? As I stand on my own with the whole world watching me... Everybody knows this won't take very long. All the jurors have their say. Justice will be served today. If they had their way, they'd hang me by my tongue. What do you say when nobody wants to hear the truth? Where do you go when everyone's got their eye out on you? How do you look at yourself with such a fog around your head? When do we finally turn ourselves in? Now I stand all alone knowing that their is no hope. Everybody wants to see me do my time. All the jurors have their say. Justice will be served today. To the gallows, boy! You'll hang around tonight!
