A Hanging Matter |
| When the stranger came to town |
| He didn’t mean to cause disconcertment |
| He never really had a chance since |
| Nonconformity |
| Was their reason to break down |
| His well pleased independence |
| Cause it didn’t quite comply |
| With their own life-understanding |
| Look, he’s sent to the gallows |
| He stands up straight and sings: |
| Yeah — |
| Bless yourself |
| You’ll never take |
| Nor will you make |
| My spirit break |
| (And) all the people looking blank |
| Not a single soul objecting |
| As the freethinker’s head sank while |
| Re-established truth |
| Did stabilize their peace |
| Suppressing the distracting |
| But evil begets evil — |
| So they can’t suppress his tune |
| He stands up straight and sings — |
| Yeah — |
| Bless yourself |
| You’ll never take |
| Nor will you make |
| My spirit break |
| People that we are — |
| They are the people that we are — |
| The fuckin' people that we are… |
| And so he sings: |
| Can’t you — |
| Can’t you see that my heart’s so pure? |
| Yeah — |
| Bless yourself |
| You’ll never take |
| Nor will you make |
| My spirit break |
