Socrates |
| They accused me of writing songs |
| I was sentenced to death |
| Twenty-four hours to live |
| So long, my love |
| They denied my last appeal |
| Offered me a final meal |
| Twenty-four hours to go |
| Twenty-four hours to the show |
| Health to the tyrant |
| Health to the modern state |
| When they tie me to the stake |
| What a great event I’ll make |
| All of the ratings will soar |
| High as the war |
| And they’ll pile on the sticks |
| All my books and manuscripts |
| All of my letters and I |
| Will darken the sky |
| But the Sisters of Charity |
| Committed them to memory |
| And all of the children |
| Will sing like seeds on the wind |
| Health to the tyrant |
| Health to the modern state |
| Health to the tower |
| Health to the southern gate |
| When I bring my songs to hell |
| All the killers and infidels |
| Will be spinning around |
| In flammable gowns |
| If you take the tyrant’s head |
| They put a tyrant in his stead |
| No more bloodshed, my friends |
| Seek no revenge |
| Don’t bring flowers to my bed |
| I don’t need them when I’m dead |
| Twenty-four hours to go |
| Twenty-four hours to the show |
| Health to the tyrant |
| Health to the modern state |
| Health to the Dollar |
| Health to the modern state |
| Health to the tyrant |
| Health to his enemies |
| Health to the tyrant |
| Health to the southern gate |
