tony fitzpatrick - idiot whistle lyrics

Loading...

this disc is dedicated to richard cunningham
an attorney for condemned men his whole legal career
he used to tell me when politicians
came to talk about the death penalty
to get out my idiot whistle

politicians love the death penalty
because it makes a bunch of candy asses
look like tough guys
kind of like the war on drugs or terror or poverty

while they want you to know
that they’re the most warringest soldiers
on god’s green earth

they espеcially love executions
nothing likе putting a black man or a brown man
or some good old hillbilly white trash to death
kind of makes their shoes shine a little brighter
makes them feel down right uprighty

politicians know better than you and me
h+ll, they’ll tell you that themselves

an eye for an eye
meaning when one spills blood
we should spill more blood to make things right
that makes perfect political sense
just remember, that here in illinois
17 men walked off of death row
after being exonerated by dna testing
eye for an eye

know that when the state executes somebody
they do it in our name
they’re doing it for you and me

know that execution does not
bring back a loved one to life
that execution degrades us and dehumanises us
that revenge and justice are not the same thing
and that k!lling anyone for any reason
furthers the cycle of violence

president has just signed off
on another execution
get out your idiot whistle
and blow
