lyrics
Sodium Pentothal
It's the scythe of western law
Just a-swingin' it's way
Through a poor man's veins
Sodium Pentothal
Well I sold my soul
To the narrow road
for a pistol and a badge of gold
I served my time
Yeah I walked that line
Asked, "how high?"
At what it was I was told
Now seven years on the beat
They took me outta the streets
To these corridors of fading dreams
With the major league pushers with Glock 19s
To embezzlers with Ponzi schemes
And we don't rehabilitate em
We just store em away
Out of the scrutinizing public's eye
But we've got limited space
Some have a matter of time
And the state's got something in mind
Yeah we've got limited space and a matter of time
(chorus)
So now the preacher comes in
Cause it's time to repent
He says he says no sins to admit
Yeah this one's been contending his innocence
from his conviction 'til they strapped him in
and the only difference between now and the gallows days
They let the hangman hide his face
and now the vengeful wait in a gripping praise
Of Mother Mary full of grace
Sodium Pentothal
Come and witness one and all
Good God Almighty
Glory Hallelujah
Sodium Pentothal
Oh, switchblades for needles
a gun for my syringe
I was never any better than him
It's the scythe of western law
Just a-swingin' it's way
Through a poor man's veins
Sodium Pentothal
Well I sold my soul
To the narrow road
for a pistol and a badge of gold
I served my time
Yeah I walked that line
Asked, "how high?"
At what it was I was told
Now seven years on the beat
They took me outta the streets
To these corridors of fading dreams
With the major league pushers with Glock 19s
To embezzlers with Ponzi schemes
And we don't rehabilitate em
We just store em away
Out of the scrutinizing public's eye
But we've got limited space
Some have a matter of time
And the state's got something in mind
Yeah we've got limited space and a matter of time
(chorus)
So now the preacher comes in
Cause it's time to repent
He says he says no sins to admit
Yeah this one's been contending his innocence
from his conviction 'til they strapped him in
and the only difference between now and the gallows days
They let the hangman hide his face
and now the vengeful wait in a gripping praise
Of Mother Mary full of grace
Sodium Pentothal
Come and witness one and all
Good God Almighty
Glory Hallelujah
Sodium Pentothal
Oh, switchblades for needles
a gun for my syringe
I was never any better than him
