andrea yates verdict
you don't make sense to me
andrea yates verdict
you don't make sense to me
you must be having a delusion
to reject that not guilty plea

andrea yates verdict
what good is it going to do
andrea yates verdict
tell me what good is it going to do
to execute or jail for life
this woman who would not hurt you

andrea yates verdict
you know revenge can't raise the dead
andrea yates verdict
you know revenge can't raise the dead
and jail or death's no way to treat
someone who's not right in the head

andrea yates verdict
can't you see you're symptomatic
andrea yates verdict
can't you see you're symptomatic
when justice turns to hatred
then we're no longer democratic
