Punishment

Come on God, answer me
 If years I'm asking you why
 Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive
 Where is justice, where is punishment
 Or have you already answered
 Have you already said to the world
 Here is justice, here is punishment
 Here in me

 ♪
 I question not me, it only happens to others
 I can't deny reality as life gets smothered
 ♪
 If the lines can be read between
 Maybe you can tell me then what it all means
 'Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene
 Locked down, I gotta get it out
 Impending doom, a cloud above my head
 Why me? My faith has been devout
 Blasphemous? Am I better off dead?
 Punishment, for all my sins
 A burning thought inside my mind
 Has me full of pity for all of human kind
 As we move forth, we fall further behind
 Fear of death, will my life go on?
 Controlled fate? On the corner rolling dice
 Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong
 In my eyes, who really pays the price
 My lament, for the human race
 Guilty, punishment for all my sins, yeah yeah
 ♪
 Dread the day that brings the truth
 Punishment for what I've done
 Sentence me for all my sins
 Bound in fear for what I've got
 Though not much it seems a lot
 Life is death and no one wins
 ♪
 Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar
 As I kneel down and I confess to the father
 That I'm suffering a burning question of the truth
 Whether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right off the roof
 'Cause I did things normal, just like all my friends
 But now I'm positive and life it all ends
 Punishment, for all my sins, I repent
 In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority
 Of the people are out there smoking crack, getting doped up
 Shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked
 If we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this song
 A question we all ask and must answer before long
 'Cause no one is safe in this world, what's the deal
 The sentence is death and to what court do I appeal?
 Punishment, for all my sins, I repent
