Capital Punishment (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] The United States is one of two remaining industrialized nations to still use death as a form of punishment There are approximately three thousand prisoners currently living on death row No other country in the world has this many of its citizens awaiting execution If you support capital punishment, you support absolute political control at its sickest extreme [Verse 1] Murder, murder, murder, murder Why must we continue to murder? Those who've been convicted of murder Enforced under the lie that it's a deterrent to murder Justifies their fucking murder [Verse 2] Murder, murder, murder, murder Why must we continue to murder? Those who've been convicted of murder Enforced under the lie that it's a deterrent to murder Justifies their fucking murder [Pre-Chorus] Murder, murder, murder, murder [Chorus] Abolish capital punishment now Oppose the murder the state allow Capital punishment is America's crime An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind [Verse 3] Sentenced to die, sentenced to death Capitol punishment is a tool of the terrorist It's nothing more than a political weapon It's not a deterrent, it's not prevention Kill one man, spare another Our justice system is based on color Examine the facts you have to face it The American death penalty is fucking racist [Chorus] Abolish capital punishment now Oppose the murder the state allow Capital punishment is America's crime An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind [Verse 4] Politicians who seek enhancement Look towards murder for career advancement They prey on fear and insecurity To win the support of the majority Endorsing murder under false perceptions Being tough on crime helps win elections They're playing God, they have no right It's premeditated political sacrifice [Chorus] Abolish capital punishment now Oppose the murder the state allow Capital punishment is America's crime An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind [Verse 5] It's not about murder or a crime committed Not what was done, but who fucking did it It's not about law or even justice It's all about race and economic status You can't judge a person by a stereotyped race You have to look at the individual case No lives returned by an execution Another death is no solution [Chorus] Abolish capital punishment now Oppose the murder the state allow Capital punishment is America's crime An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind [Verse 6] Their justice system is just our burden The way they treat the average person What about murder by government agents? Not capital punishment or even containment These political pawns get away with murder They're servants to the new world order You'll see no outside intervention Not a single death recommendation [Outro] The American government is guilty of crimes against humanity
