[Verse]   Blame misinformation   Misguided leaders   Apathetic hesitation   Uneducated readers   For whatever reasons   We now find ourselves in this   We are all charged with treason   And there’s no one left to hear [Chorus] And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? [Verse]   We’re the judge and the jury   The hangman the convict   It’s too late for fury   Our indictment was hand-picked   So step out to the gallows   And accept your sentence   For being so shallow   You must pay a penance [Chorus] And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? And oh we had so much time How could we commit the worst crime? *********************************** | h   Hammer-on | ()  Optional notes ***********************************
