THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG
(TONIO K.)
THE MONSTER WALKED OUT OF THE GARDEN
BRUSHED THE DUST OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND STRAIGHTENED HIS TIE
TOOK A HAT FROM THE RACK (HE WORE HATS)
TOOK A NAME AND HEADED EAST
HE SAID “I'M GONNA RUIN THIS PLACE”
HE SAID “I'M GONNA RUIN THESE PEOPLE”
HE SAID “I KNOW I CAN DO IT”
HE SANG THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG
HE LANDED A JOB IN THE CITY
HE SOLD THINGS
HE SOLD TV'S & CD'S & FAST CARS & FILM STARS COCAINE & WORD GAMES & LIMITED EDITIONS
HE SOLD IMAGES & INFORMATION
HE SOLD ARMS & AMMUNITION
AND ALMOST EVERYBODY LOVED HIM
AND ALMOST EVERYONE BELIEVED HIM …
THE PEOPLE WERE DYIN' FOR LOVE
THE PEOPLE WERE CRYIN' OUT FOR LOVE
AND WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE DYIN' THE PEOPLE START BUYIN'
I FACED HIM DOWN IN A MANSION IN BRENTWOOD
I SAID NO, AND I CALLED THE POLICE
I BLEW UP THE BLUE IDOL
STOLE HIS SONG AND I REWROTE THE THEME
I MADE IT A SONG ABOUT FREEDOM
I MADE IT A SONG ABOUT PEACE
I STARTED TO SING IT IN PUBLIC
AND FOUND OUT SOME PEOPLE AGREED …
