Lyrics:
Judge: So, lowly criminal Please tell me, how do you plead? Defendant: Now, honorable judges, ladies, gentlemen of the jury Please allow me to present my case Judge: Ha, what case can you possibly present To rip a man from his family, faith, and friends? Defense? Defendant: Listen, before you convict, you see I never did intend to ruin anything Judge: Intent is a guilty conscience's White flag against pride So I find You guilty of the crimes Defendant: I know, although I don't believe It's not only my afterlife I bereave Judge: Appeals will be denied The line of duty calls for enforcement of laws So you're our property now Intelligence has failed you somehow Oh, what a shame that you play this game Defendant: Through senses, what can we explain? Not joy, not guilt, not pain Is love the same? This senseless argument in vain Erodes my sense of shame Who's to blame? Thank you, pain God bless suffering! Thank you, pain For preventing me returning to the source again Judge: So it shall be Now do you see The error of your ways? Of rats and men you speak Standing up tall but you are weak A smiling thief We are all murderers, you see But you let taboo human chemistry Blind your needs Love is greed Logic won't concede Think about the statistics you feed Think before you plead Defendant: Through senses, what can we explain? Not joy, not fear, not pain Is love the same? This reckless argument in vain Erodes my sense of shame Who's to blame? Thank you, pain God bless suffering! Thank you, pain For preventing me returning to the source again
