Capital Punishment

[Verse 1]
One million of worms incite the fear
One million of victims lost and killed
One more statistic for the news
Another family cries, just one more bill

[Pre-Chorus]
They take your right to protect yourself
Steeling your guns, you pride and realm
Capital punishment
Falls only on you

[Chorus]
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions

[Verse 2]
Which human rights they defend indeed?
What prison is colder, yours or their?
All values reversed in the name of greed
By 16 they had learned how to put you on knees

[Pre-Chorus]
They take your rights to protect yourself
Steeling your guns, your pride and realm
Capital punishment
Falls on you

[Chorus]
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions

[Instrumental Break]

[Spoken]
"You may write me down in history, with your bitter, twisted lies
You may trod me in the very dirt but still, like dust, I'll rise
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells pumping in my living room
Just like moons and like suns, with the certain of tides, still I'll rise."

[Chorus]
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
I'm not a number
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions, no more
Wo-oo-oh! No more illusions
