Story Behind The Song
I'm so tired of the lies of politicians that I had to write this.
Song Description
I don't know the form that retribution will take, but I have to believe that the bad people must pay a price somehow. Is it the judgement of a supreme being or simply the hell of living with themselves?

Lyrics
I would apologize to you
If I had done the things you do
I marvel how you spout those lies
That go unchallenged all the time
IÂ?d feel a darkness in my soul
If I would tow the line you tow
I wonder how you find your sleep
When you must keep the lies you keep
ThereÂ?s a morninÂ? cominÂ? on
When retribution sings her song (When one by one we will atone)
And each of us who blurs that line
Will bow to judgment in due time
I feel IÂ?m low when I myself
Pass sentence down on someone else
I know IÂ?ll fall right after you
If I say that I could never do
I must apologize to you
And thatÂ?s the hardest thing to do
If you persist in selling lies
YouÂ?ll betray your own soul so much more than mine
