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