A Beautiful Life

Somewhere, far above Mexico, way back

A man's head on the block

Joe Public recalls

It's not the first time and it won't be the last

Gross human indecency shall come to pass

A human cries to another man, I can't breathe, I can't breathe

Down in Minneapolis, I'll never walk free

A human cries to another man, I can't breathe, I can't breathe

Down in Minneapolis, I'll never walk free

It's not my fault you know, I had to restrain

Maybe keeping the order means inflicting pain

It's not my fault you know

My job means I'm exempt from blame

What about the other ones?

I've nothing to say

A human cries to another man, I can't breathe, I can't breathe

Down in Minneapolis, I'll never walk free

A human cries to another man, I can't breathe, I can't breathe

Down in Minneapolis, I'll never walk free

I'll never walk free, all the onlookers see

Don't know how this happens in a beautiful life

The buck stops with all of us, just don't tell my wife

Don't know how this happens in a beautiful life

The buck stops with all of us, just don't tell my wife

Don't know how this happens in a beautiful life

The buck stops with all of us, just don't tell my wife

In a beautiful life
