Bolts of lightning - out of the blue
Without forewarning - the heat is on you
Watch what you say - the phone maybe tapped
Under heavy surveillance - looks like you're trapped
Under investigation - whether guilty or not
Without your own doing - you're part of the plot
Trying to hide - going underground
Just a matter of time until you will be found

The noose is tightening - there's no return
Moral cleansing - free thinking must burn
This is serious - your face in the mud
The end of the story is written in blood
Freeze! Down on your knees! - beaten and bound
Tarred and feathered they parade you around
The media is feasting - your face on the news
It's a feeding frenzy - a mob on the loose

It doesn't matter what you say or do
There is no justice - no future for you
Because you're the scapegoat you are to blame
This is your life - 15 minutes of shame

Witch hunt - guilty by association
Witch hunt - systematic defamation
Witch hunt - process of elimination
Witch hunt - demonized and sacrificed

Witch hunt - guilty by association
Witch hunt - merciless interrogation
Witch hunt - ill-reputed executed
Witch hunt - which hunt?
Burn that witch

Witch hunt - guilty by association
Witch hunt - methodical eradication
Witch hunt - [bad word] by morning light
Witch hunt - which hunt?
Burn that witch

You've always been different - you've spoken my mind
Set yourself apart - now they hate your kind
foreign element - the unknown factor
An [bad word] - the hannibal lecter
