I知 Not the Man Lyrics:
[ merchant ]
[ bassoons: kim laskowski & atsuko sato ]
It crawls on his back, won稚 ever let him be.
Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe.
His eyes have gone away, escaping over time.
He rules a crowded nation inside his mind.
He knows that night like his hand.
He knows every move he made.
Late shift, the bell that rang, a time card won稚 fade.
10:05 his truck pulled home.
10:05 he climbed his stair, about the time he was accused of being there.
But I知 not the man.
He goes free as I wait on the row for the man to test the rope he値l slip around my throat...
And silence me.
On the day he was tried no witnesses testified.
Nothing but evidence, not hard to falsify.
His own confession was a prosecutor痴 prize,
Made up of fear, of rage and of outright lies.
But I知 not the man.
He goes free as the candle vigil glows, as they burn my clothes.
As the crowd cries, "hang him slow!" and I feel my blood go cold, he goes free.
Call out the kkk, they池e wild after me.
And with that frenzied look of half-demented zeal,
They壇 love to serve me up my final meal.
Who値l read my final rite and hear my last appeal?
Who struck this devil痴 deal?
