legalized murder - robyn hitchcock & the egyptians lyrics

Loading...

in the hall of legalised murder
a young black man is waiting for his death
he k!lled a white policeman
or so they say and the judges want his breath

in the hall of legalised murder
time goes by and no one does a lot
but they tested out the gas chamber
on a black rabbit, at least he won’t be shot

they should give him a medal
isn’t our world based on murder?
they should give him a medal
isn’t our world based on crime?

in the hall of legalised murder
a young black man is strapped into the chair
and the warden says “we’ll get through this together, jim”
but the warden doesn’t seem to have a chair

in the hall of legalised murder
there’s a lump of flesh that’s lying on a tray
it’s been freshly k!lled but it wasn’t k!lled for eating
it’s been freshly k!lled to be dumped and thrown away

they should give him a medal
isn’t our world based on murder?
they should give him a medal
isn’t our life based on crime?
