Gasoline

Nick P

Absolute power corrupts absolutely….

Lyrics:

One cloudless night, freedom’s candle was snuffed
Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he’s not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his thoughts

GASOLINE
GASOLINE
GASOLINE

The propaganda, sure opened my eyes
But my legs went numb, I could only sympathize
As I read on with the deepest grief
I swear to God I could hear him scream

GASOLINE
GASOLINE
GASOLINE

He tried to run,
But they chased him down
They bombed his house
They schooled his son,
They harmed his wife,
They took his life

They got catchy slogans that sway belief
All is fine, so simple and neat
Cry revolution for heaven on earth
But history shows a hell will likely come first

GASOLINE
GASOLINE
Tied to a wooden chair, he squirmed and pleaded
They flicked a match; he was burned alive in gasoline
