[Verse]
           G                            C           G 
When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection

        Bm             Em         C                D        
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did

              G                            C            G
It's for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice

             Bm              C               G
Before more damage could be done I took his life
[Chorus]
G         D/F#    Em                             C
There was a    split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin

      G                             D
Beady eyes roll back in head, body drop from the poison

  G   D/F# Em                         C
They could incapacitate me but could not erase my sneer

            G                                    D
I heard a thousand people screaming while three billion others cheered

        Em       C                 D
He was gone, and I would soon be
[Verse 2]
    G                         C                 G
Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain

            Bm         Em            C               D
I was not criminally insane, in fact I was found to be

              G                            C        G
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society

           Bm               C             G
A minor threat except for that one man I killed
[Chorus]
G    D/F#  Em                             C
As the    sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes

            G                                    D
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize

G D/F#   Em                             C
I was   going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know

         G                                         D
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario

            Em      C         D       G
and what I did had no significance at all
[Outro] G C G Bm C G
