The Man I Killed

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

Was for the benefit 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
