The Worst Crime - Depeche Mode

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

They 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 reason

We now find ourselves in this

We are all charged with treason

There is no one left to hiss

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 handpicked

So step up to the gallows

And accept your sentence

For being so shallow

You must pay your 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?
