Songtexte Hangman - The Dead Milkmen

Hangman!
Is now lynch mob TV fun
The game you played as a kid
If you're a killer you'd better run
'Cause the letters they're all hid

Guess the death sentence phrase
Before the last letter's drawn
You'll go free with the right plays
And see the next day's dawn

Contestant number one
Killed his daughter and his wife
Could not guess "Waste not, want not"
So he lost his life
Hangman!

There's a sentence on the wall
Gotta figure it out
I wish I'd studied English
'Cause my time is running out
I wish I'd studied English
'Cause soon they're gonna shout
Hangman!
