Your Turn To Be The Bogeyman

from Unangelic Voices EP by Kerry JK

/

about

A word of warning for those zealous about finding bad guys to punish.

lyrics

You're so quick to join the lynch mob
So quick to start a fight
So quick to find a witch to burn
They've got to learn that might is right
But now the crowd has changed direction
And they're looking back at you
What will you do when it's your turn
To be the bogeyman?

Innocence is inconvenience
Know your role and take it like a man
The pack is baying
They came here for a slaying
And they're going to get it any way they can
You had your time as judge and jury
Giving out and never taking back
What will you do when it's your turn
To be the bogeyman?

Only confessions are accepted
It doesn't matter what you have to say
The crime is named to justify the punishment
Are you sure that you're not guilty anyway?
Everything's forgiven except deviance
The many feel threatened by the few
What will you do when it's your turn
To be the bogeyman?
