Eric Himan - Us Little People lyrics
rate meToday we killed a man for killing
Wouldn't you know it, he was willing
Can't say the same for the chosen few
And in the classroom down the street
Children are taught revenge isn't sweet
And we wonder why they bring their daddies guns to school
So before you go to bed, say a prayer for those unsaid
Who never got the one wish they could've used
And the prisoners on death row are shown mercy and let go
Before remorse pays them a visit long overdue
And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV
We'd never have to watch the evening news
And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand
That us little people need protection too,
cause I'm just as scared as you...
So we execute the guilty to justify our safety
that finally someone is getting what they deserve
And how sadistic have we become to market human destruction and televise with commercials afterwards
Saying you heard it here first...
And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV
We'd never have to watch the evening news
And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand
That us little people need protection too,
cause I'm just as scared as you...
Who's right is to take a life for a life
Give a dying man his wish to see the light
Inject the criminals so full of chemicals that he glows from head to toe
And leaves this world less painful...
than what he's done to us.
And If the world was just as easy as 50's sitcom TV
We'd never have to watch the evening news
And I'd feel safer in this land if I knew the big guys understand
That us little people need protection too,
cause I'm just as scared as you,
just as scared as you...(X3)
