The Worst Crime

There's a lynching in the square You will have to join us Everyone's going to be there We're setting up the truss Once there were solutions Now we have no excuses They got lost in confusion So we're preparing the nooses

And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime

Blame misinformation Misguided leaders Apathetic hesitation Uneducated readers For whatever reason We now find ourselves in this We are all charged with treason There is no one left to hiss

And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime

We're the judge and the jury The hangman, the convict It's too late for fury Our indictment was handpicked So step up to the gallows And accept your sentence For being so shallow You must pay your penance

And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime

And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime
