about

"The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to use the case of a schizophrenic death row inmate in Texas to set the standard for determining when a mental illness is so severe that execution would be constitutionally impermissible."

lyrics

Breathing in the water
His hands grasped for the sky
A vision came down toward him
An electric snake
reflected in his eyes

Drugs and drinking hardly helped
the demons, they possessed him
the walls bled at the hospital
he buried the furniture
out in the garden

One voice, one voice
Spoke louder than the rest
Sarge made Scott saw off his shotgun
Put on fatigues and
shaved his head

And Sarge called out the orders
"Shoot the lock, kill them both
Leave you wife, leave the little girl."
Blood on the linoleum
Birdie and her mother crouched
The kitchen floor
The kitchen floor

Now he says he's born again
the Born Again April Fool
Believes he's being put to death
for preaching the gospel
the state is the devil
the law his rule

Oh, that power line
that electric snake
that devil's hand
reached out for him as a boy
and now as a man

I am not a juror
thank god I'm not a judge
'cause if he casts a shadow on a sunny day
In Texas, that's enough
