Lyrics
0:01The Shortest Straw
0:02Metallica
0:02And Justice for All
0:031988
1:03Fightclub work
1:06Suspicion is your name
1:07Your honesty to blame
1:09Put dignity to shame
1:10Dishonor
1:12Witchhunt' modern day
1:14Determining decay
1:16The blatant disarray
1:17Disfigure
1:19The public eyes' disgrace
1:20Defying common place
1:22Unending paper chase
1:24Unending
1:26Deafening
1:28Painstaking
1:28Reckoning
1:30This vertigo it doth bring
1:47Shortest straw
1:48Challenge liberty
1:50Downed by law
1:52Live in infamy
1:54Rub your raw
1:55Witchhunt riding through
1:56Shortest straw
1:59This shortest straw has been pulled for you
2:03Pulled for you'Shortest straw
2:13Shortest straw has been pulled for you
2:30The accusations fly
2:31Discrimination' why
2:32Your inner self to die
2:34Intruding
2:34Doubt sunk itself in you
2:37It's teeth and talons through
2:39Your living catch-22
2:40Deluding
2:44A mass hysteria
2:45A megalomania
2:45Reveal dementia
2:46Reveal
2:48Secretly
2:51Silently
2:54Certainly
2:55In vertigo you will be
3:11Shortest straw
3:12Challenge liberty
3:15Downed by law
3:16Live in infamy
3:18Rub your raw
3:19Witchhunt riding through
3:21Shortest straw
3:23This shortest straw has been pulled for you
3:28Pulled for you'Shortest straw
3:31Shortest straw has been pulled for you
3:35(solo)
3:38Pulled for you'Shortest straw
3:39Shortest straw has been pulled for you
3:42(solo)
5:13Behind you' hands are tied
5:14Your being' ostracized
5:15Your hell is multiplied
5:17Upending
5:19The fallout has begun
5:20Oppressive damage done
5:21Your many turned to none
5:23To nothing
5:25You're reaching your nadir
5:27Your will has disappeared
5:28The lie is crystal clear
5:30Defending
5:32Channels red
5:33One word said
5:35Blacklisted
5:36With vertigo make you dead
5:38(music)
5:54Shortest straw
5:55Challenge liberty
5:55Downed by law
5:58Live in infamy
6:00Rub your raw
6:02Witchhunt riding through
6:04Shortest straw
6:05This shortest straw has been pulled for you
