  • There's a lynching in the square
    You will have to join us
    Everyone's going to be there
    We're setting up the truss
    Once there were solutions
    Now we have no excuses
    They got lost in confusion
    So we're preparing the nooses

    And oh we had so much time
    How could we commit the worst crime?

    Blame misinformation
    Misguided leaders
    Apathetic hesitation
    Uneducated readers
    For whatever reason
    We now find ourselves in this
    We are all charged with treason
    There is no one left to hiss

    And oh we had so much time
    How could we commit the worst crime?

    We're the judge and the jury
    The hangman, the convict
    It's too late for fury
    Our indictment was handpicked
    So step up to the gallows
    And accept your sentence
    For being so shallow
    You must pay your penance

    And oh we had so much time
    How could we commit the worst crime?
    And oh we had so much time
    How could we commit the worst crime? Writer/s: Martin Gore
