Someone Else Must Die

 SOMEONE ELSE MUST DIE

Someone else must suffer,

            I heard the evangelist say,

They must be the sacrificial lambs,

            So that we can live this way.

            **********

Someone else must pay,

            I heard the rich man say,

So that we can have this sunny day,

            So that we can live this way.

            **********

Someone else must strive to survive,

            I heard the top boss say,

So that we can richly thrive,

            So that we can live this way.

            **********

Someone else must die,

            I heard the speaker say,

So that we can keep our guns,

            So that we can live this way.
