Depeche Mode - The Worst Crime

There's a lynching in the square You will have to join us Everyone's going to be there We're setting up the truss Once there were solutions Now we have no excuses It got lost in confusion So we're preparing the nooses And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? Blame misinformation, misguided leaders Apathetic hesitation, uneducated readers For whatever reasons we now find ourselves in this We are all charged with treason And there's no one left to hear And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? We're the judge and the jury The hangman, the convict It's too late for fury Our indictment was hand-picked So step out to the gallows And accept your sentence For being so shallow You must pay a penance And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? And oh, we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime?
