Any fool can play executioner for a day, 

and say with fingers pointed in both directions 

'he went thataway',

and you think you're gonna get in. 



Ah, but the pardons never come from up-stairs. 

They're always a moment too late, 

but it's entertainment 

keep the crowd on their toes, 

it's justice, we're safe. 

It's not a hit, it's a holiday
