When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
               Em                         G                   C                               D 
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
                               G                                                           C 
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost
           G 
sacrifice,
                         Em                           G           C               G 
Before more damage could be done I took his life.
                         C                                                               D 
There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured
the skin,
             G                                                                     C 
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the
 D 
poison,
                       C                                                           D 
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
                     G                                                                             C 
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion
                 D 
others cheered,
               G                 D 
He was gone, and I would soon be...
       G                                                   C                                 G 
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
                           Em           G                               C                           D 
I was not criminally insane, in fact, I was found to be,
                           G                             C                           GEm 
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
 G                                                   C                           G 
A minor threat, except for that one man I killed.
               G                           C                           G                             Em 
As the sedatives take effect, I just smile, close my eyes,
                     G                                       C 
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I
       D 
realise,
             G                                 C                       G 
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should
 Em 
know,
                   G                           C 
That the man I killed?s replacement planned this whole
 D 
Scenario,
                       G             C                   D       G 
And what I did had no significance at all.
