Em Bm everyone needs to see the prisoner A G they need to make it even easier Em Bm A G they see me as a symbol, and not a human being Em Bm that way they can kill me A G say it's not murder, it's a metaphor Em Bm we are killing off our own failure A G and starting clean

Em Bm I think guilt and innocence A G they are a matter of degree Em Bm what might be justice to you A G might not be justice to me Em Bm I went to far, i'm sorry A G I guess now i'm going home Em Bm so let he amongst you A G Cast the first stone

Em Bm now we've got all these complicated machines Em Bm A G so no one person ever has to have blood on their hands Em Bm we've got complex organizations A G and if everyone just does their job Em Bm no one person has to understand A G you might be the wrong color Em Bm you might be too poor A G justice isn't something just anyone can afford Em Bm you might not pull the trigger A G you might be out in the car Em Bm and you might get a lethal injection A G 'cause we take a metaphor that far
