Zearle - Penalty Of d**h ft. John Nickels lyrics

Penalty of d**h Suburban ghetto Country meadow City slum, or barrio We're goin schizo In the nation of frustration People waitin' We're dissapatin' Getting high to deny Degeneration of the nation Confusion at the station Alienation on every occasion Reality hits us like a bomb Where's it gonna come from? There's no room at the top Just cops slappin' Hand cuffs Echelon—what a con Depends what drug you're on What a joke Meth, booze and coke That Gin has got you juked Your nuclear family's been nuked Now yer venting spleen In high denial Never coming clean—it's not in style Me and the boys are doing fine I'm gonna be like Prime Time Pressures building up relentless Brothers beating brothers senseless Knockin the boots of those defenseless Homie love is up for sale Cash is king, the holy grail Watch the brother show his tail Selling out for heavy mail Female rights are unprotected Children neglected, their love has been rejected Being poor is a crime No matter what color Some brother will fake you Take you out and break you Macho man will win and lose you Eat your welfare check up, too, foo' Hope you got some macaroni Feeds those kids on some more bologna Welfare nickel welfare dime Powdered milk and bu*tered slime Eternal victim's sad sad song Dead end street? just dead and gone Penalty of d**h, murder by the state If life was chess, it's checkmate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Psycho k**er had a court date Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Now his bones are a paper weight Penalty of d**h, murder by the state He's the one we love to hate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state This is how we operate The element of fate Justice delayed Democracy betrayed Dirty rotten politics And a court case charade Flippin the switch Make 'em jump and twitch Finally the state Wipes you off the slate It's legal a**a**ination Power concentration The state does the deed The rest of us are freed From guilt and shame We didn't even know his name Blitzed and he's fritzed Blip and he's fried Electricity applied Maybe it's some gas Whatever k**s your a** We can't mask The truth Do like the murderer does But without all the blood You feel abused, feel real bad Doped up strung out psycho mad You're Mr. Nice Your heads in a vise Flip the switch and you'll feel alright Turn the knob, it's somebody's else's job In cold blood Your name is mud It stands to reason, work it out The state is what it's all about The state commits treason It goes against reason k**ing the k**ers and lettin' their k**ers go Mopping up the boys on d**h row Mostly poor dark with a curly 'fro k**ing to be k**ed is the name of the game Murdering's their one claim to fame Penalty of d**h, murder by the state If life was chess, it's checkmate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Pyscho k**er had a court date Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Now his bones are a paper weight Penalty of d**h, murder by the state He's the one we love to hate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Naked and sh**tin My man The end is fittin The crime is brutal murder You can't go much further Hancuffed Shakled and shufflin' Hackle hairs rufflin' They shave your head No vanity when you're dead A man on d**h row Quenten or devil's island All these cops are stylin It's the ultimate twist No more slapping on the wrist They do you in for real Part of their package deal When a dog has no master It bites even faster Without justice, society's rigged So the bigger get big And you're all alone Capital punishment Is not what the Bible meant Eye for an eye? Maybe that's why Justice is blind and deaf To the cries of the innocent Penalty of d**h, murder by the state If life was chess, it's checkmate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Psycho k**er had a court date Penalty of d**h, murder by the state Now his bones are a paper weight Penalty of d**h, murder by the state He's the one we love to hate Penalty of d**h, murder by the state
