歌曲歌詞
The methods America has used to execute
It's criminals have changed over the years
From burning to drawing and quartering
To hanging criminals have been axed
Crucified buried alive pressed with weights
Stones impaled starved decapitated and gibbeted
Gibbeting is the hanging of the condemned man
By chains to rot death often
Takes weeks to occur lench mob
Ah today the breakdown of execution methods
Looks like this
Seventeen states use lethal injection
The electric chair is employed
In fifteen states lethal gas is the choice
In seven states three states
Still hang their condemned and
Two states execute prisoners
By firing squad lench mob ahm
As of 1987 florida led the nation with 277 inmates
Awaiting death texas was second with 257
And california was third with 219
The youngest person facing death was 16 years old
Lench mob ahm
In the united states public execution occasionally
Led to violence among the crowd
And senseless tragedy for a few unfortunate witnesses
Lench mob ahm
The last public execution in america was on august 14th
1946 nearly 20000 people showed up to watch the
Hanging death of rainey bethea a black man accused
Of raping a white woman
Let's only eliminate on the grounds of the solace of
Bumpin' business and all of that and everybody
Had a good time and the mob
Was just totally unruly
Mob was just totally unruly
Mob was just totally unruly
