The Prosecution

[Verse 1]
It's a waste of kindness
And hard-earned cash
A trap for those in possession of doubt
Lacking choices

[Pre-Chorus]
Through all these misgivings
An arrogant smile
You're the perfect victim

[Chorus]
Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, I just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
You're so amusing

[Verse 2]
I saw what you did and how much it hurt you
Some things never heal
They'll approve for as long as you fall
On spit-covered concrete and gold-plate stars

[Pre-Chorus]
The greed is appalling
Your soul is a ghost
Now your flesh is for sale

[Chorus 1]
Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, I just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
You're pulling teeth for pleasure

[Chorus 2]
Well, if this is the road we choose
If this is the path preferred
If this is where we're headed now
Welcome to hell...

[Bridge]
So, fuck your mask
Fuck your bland conceit
Fuck your precious cronies, too
Confess
Stooge

[Chorus]
Forgive my lack of empathy
Oh, I just love watching you bleed
The things you do for gold and green
It's like pulling for teeth for pleasure

[Outro]
Well, if this is the road we choose
If this is the path...
If this is where
We're headed now...
