The Shortest Straw

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonour
Witchhunt, Modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending
Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

The accusations fly
Discrimination, Why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch-22
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A meglomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal
Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
