Subject: Lyric Quote of the Day--Feb 24
Well, I'm back by popular demand again, I guess. And "nah" tae ye, _garg. Today, the double whammy.

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability
Get right with me

Friends, if you've lost your way
You will find it again some day
Come down from your pedestals
And open your mouths that's all
Get right with me
Life is such a short thing
That I cannot comprehend
But if this life were a bought thing
There are ways I know we'd mend

People, take my advice
Already told you once, once or twice
Don't waste your energy
Making apologies
Get right with me
