Video I m Not The Man - Videos Musicales Gratis
It crawls on his back
won t ever let him be.
Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe.
His eyes have gone away
escaping over time.
He rules a crowded nation inside his mind.
He knows that night like his hand.
He knows every move he made.
Late shift
the bell that rang
a time card won t fade.
10:05 his truck pulled home.
10:05 he climbed his stair
about the time he was accused of being there.
But I m not the man.
He goes free as I wait on the row for the man to test the rope he ll slip around my throat
and silence me.
On the day he was tried no witnesses testified.
Nothing but evidence
not hard to falsify.
His own confession was a prosecutor s prize
made up of fear
of rage and of outright lies.
But I m not the man.
He goes free as the candle vigil glows
as they burn my clothes.
As the crowd cries
"Hang him slow!" and I feel my blood go cold
he goes free.
Call out the KKK
they re wild after me.
And with that frenzied look of half-demented zeal
they d love to serve me up my final meal.
Who ll read my final rite and hear my last appeal? Who struck this devil s deal? |
