Assassin Lyrics - Nuclear Furniture - Jefferson Starship

Something must be done about the lone man 

Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan 

He is eaten up with hate, got your attention far too late 

Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand? 

He seemed like such a nice guy to his neighbors 

Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors 

Nobody ever knew him, there was nobody to see through him 

He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers 

Who's gonna be the hangman? 

Who's gonna be the judge? 

Who's gonna cast the first stone? 

Who'll settle up this grudge? 

It's so obvious the man is guilty 

Tell me who is capable of showing any pity 

Can anybody name the real assassin? 

No one's gonna take responsibility 

How did this man come out of our society? 

Could our intervention have prevented his intention? 

Well you know he's gonna plead insanity 

Who's gonna be the hangman? 

Who's gonna be the judge? 

Who's gonna cast the first stone? 

Who'll settle up this grudge? 

Who's gonna be the hangman? 

Who's gonna be the judge? 

Who's gonna cast the first stone? 

Who'll settle up this grudge? 

It's so obvious the man is guilty 

Now tell me who is capable showing any pity 

Can anybody name the real assassin?
