Man of Conviction

The Get Up Kids

God bless here's a man of conviction
With evidence enough to convict him so he stands by the
Side of the victim has strength enough to forgive him

Hopefully nobody saw him hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending sinner and saint for defending
The bastard by him that is bleeding throws salt in the wounds of the needy the blood from the
Cut that is seething he gasps for the air we are breathing

Hopefully nobody saw him, hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending, sinner and saint for defending
Our hero is gone
