Lyrics
the soldiers took 800 men to the edge of town
executed them on the spot, threw them in the ground
somebody video taped it all and asked the people what they thought
they didn’t believe it, said the video was fake without a doubt
‘cause no on wants to believe the people they believe in
would ever really do the things they do
their eyes, their ears, their noses, tell them they don’t want to know
and if it’s true there must be good reason why it’s so
the soldiers piled the prisoners in a human pyramid
put electrodes and a hood on, stripped them to their skins
when people saw the photographs they cried who made this hell
and made the man who legalized it all attorney general
there were two men awaiting trial for killing their wives
one was a celebrity, one was just a guy
they caught the famous actor with a towel full of blood
and a witness who said he offered him 10 grand to shut her up
they didn’t have much evidence on the regular guy
all they ever proved was he had a girlfriend on the side
everytime they asked him he denied the killing spree
they convicted him of murder, set the celebrity free
