State Executioner

State Executioner

G.b.h
(album: Leather, Bristles, No Survivors & Sick Boys)

State executioner, there´s no hope,
for the men that hang on th eend of your rope.
You think you´re safe no-one can tell,
what they´ll do when you get to hell.

State executioner ..

Got the papers, you need your boss,
that man is not guilty you don´t give a toss.
Pull the lever, watch him swing,
state executioner, murderous king.

State executioner, just the same,
as the people you kill in the government´s name.
Slip on the hood, open the hatch,
you´re no better than those you dispatch.

State executioner, punishing men,
although it´s for ever and ever amen.
Fame and fortune damnation you´ve got,
state executioner you should be shot.
