"The limo stuffed with heads of heads of state"

lyrics

GUILLOTINE

she stands tall and waits for you
judgement's been passed
she's got one job to do
you're outnumbered you're outclassed
she'll grant you something that
you fought with every breath
and it'll come just like that
equality in death

some say she does it all too fast
that certain feelings ought to last
but we'll forgo the hurt to get you in the dirt
the blade of justice long and lean
blindfold off take in the scene
you never saw her comin'
guillotine

she is made of wood and grace
she is built of steel and rage
now you finally know your place
on your knees center stage
she's pitiless and pristine
i know she'll never turn on me
but if she does, that fine machine
i'm gonna go with dignity

the way she cuts a 45
is something that must be seen live
the limo stuffed with heads of heads of state
the blade of justice long and lean
i got a list fit for a queen
you never saw her comin’
guillotine

Oh the blade of justice long and lean
i got a list fit for a queen
you never saw her comin’
guillotine
blade of justice long and lean
i got a list for you my queen
you never saw her comin’
guillotine
No you never saw her comin’
guillotine
no you never saw her comin’
