Lyrics
Firing Squad
(Mike Graham)
“Firing Squad” b/w “No Productivity”, 1980
Incorrect Thoughts, 1980
Faster & Louder: Hardcore Punk Vol. 2, 1993
Pissed Off . . . with Good Reason, 1996
Death Was Too Kind, 2008
Same Thoughts, Different Day, 2010
I had a firing squad dream, I saw it all clearly
I heard the headless people scream, I saw it all clearly
I saw the holy man
Blood on his holy hands
I saw the justice of god
Police and priests and prophets all in one
The new order soldiers taking aim on holy orders
People bowing at the call
Rebels standing at the wall
It’s called the justice of god
I saw their justice
I saw the word of god
I saw their mercy
It was the firing squad
Innocent and guilty behind bars, locked up together
Madness and confusion of this kind could last forever
The minister of execution
Calls for a retribution
Calls for the justice of god
Crowds of disciples running wild, under control
While desperate people hide inside, wait to explode
Another week, another year, who knows who’ll feel the fear
Who’ll feel the justice of god
I saw their justice
I saw the word of god
I saw their mercy
It was the firing squad
I saw their justice
I saw the word of god
I saw their mercy
It was the firing squad
It was the firing squad
It was the firing squad
It was the firing squad
It was the firing squad
