VERSE

Suspicion is your name, your honesty to blame

Put dignity to

shame, dishonor

Witch-hunt, modern day, determining

decay the blatant disarray, disfigure

The public eyes' disgrace, defying common place, Unending

paper chase, unending

Deafening,

Painstaking reckoning,

is what I go with the brain.

CHORUS

Shore to Shore!

Talents live day by law!

Live in infamy Rub you

raw!

Witch-hunt riding

through

Shortest straw

This shortest

straw has been pulled for you!

Pulse for

you!

Shore to Shore!

Pulse for you!

Polled for

Shortest straw has been

pulled for you!

VERSE

The accusations fly,

discrimination

Your inner self to die, intruding

Doubt sunk itself in you, it's to the talents too

Don't let me catch you too, deluding

A mass hysteria,

a megalomania

Reveal

dementia, reveal

Secretly, silently, certainly

In vertigo, you will be

CHORUS

Shortest straw

Challenge liberty, down by

law.

Giving in for me, but you're

wrong.

We've done right and true.

Sure to store,

this sure to store has been pulled for you.

Pulled for you. (shortest straw)

Pulled for you.

Pulled for you!

shortest straw has been pulled for you!

VERSE

Behind you hands are tied,

you're being

ostracized

Your hell is multiplied,

upending

The fallout has begun,

oppression damaged

Not so many to do,

not

so nothing

No you're reaching your nadir,

your will

has disappeared

The lie is crystal clear,

defend it, hey

Tidal's red,

want what's said

Blacklist dead,

went for the gold, think you dead

| C | E |

| G C |

CHORUS

Shortest straw, talents

live a day down by

law.

Living in

for me, rock you raw.

We done ridin' through shortest

straw.

This shortest straw

has been pulled for you.

Pulled for you!
