that was no ordinary cry that you gave/i hurt you well though i shouldn't have had to/it seems the truth is sharper than a blade or brick-laid face/to cut and find you i guess it has to be/is that right that every criminal knows the rotten thing he's done?/is it time to let the judgement come to teach us right from wrong?/is that right that i'm gonna fall when it's you that needs to stand so tall?/is that right that i'm gonna pray when you that's slipped so far away?/is that right?/there is no way that you can stop yourself/within her gaze you see that private little altar built to you/how could i not raise a finger raise a fuss raise your conscience?/it's not my sickness but it kills me just the same/is that right that i just need to lear what can and cannot change?/is it time to let the judgment come?/we'll see if my opinion remains/is that right that i'm gonna fall when it's you that needs to stand so tall?/is that right that i'm gonna pray when you that's slipped so far away?/is that right it's not my game i'm out of place i got no right to play?/it's your turn and yours to win and yours to twist?/that may be true but is that right?/well every man knows only what he knows and nothing more/and all i know is all the shame i feel for you/if it's my mistake can you please please tell me why there is no lightning/there is no big hand from the sky to slap me down?//is that right that every criminal knows the rotten thing he's done?/is it time to let the judgement come to teach us right from wrong?/'cause i am gonna ask my maker just once//is that right that i'm gonna fall when it's you that needs to stand so tall?/is that right that i'm gonna pray when you that's slipped so far away?/is that right?
