Lyric Man of Conviction - The Get Up Kids

Lyric Song Man of Conviction: When there s evidence enough to convict him

Should we stand by the side of the victim

And find strength enough to forgive him

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

The means justified by the ending

He s a sinner or saint for defending

The bastard passed out in his breathing

Pour salt in the wounds of the needy

And the blood from the cut that is sealing

And you gasp in the air were you re breathing

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

The means justified by the ending

He s a sinner or saint for defending

Our hero is gone

God blessed is a man of conviction

When there s evidence enough to convict him

Should we stand by the side of the victim

And find strength enough to forgive him

The bastard passed out in his breathing

Pour salt in the wounds of the needy

And the blood from the cut that is sealing

And you gasp in the air were you re breathing

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

The means justified by the ending

He s a sinner or saint for defending
