Man Of Conviction - The Get Up Kids

God bless here’s a man of conviction

With evidence enough to convict him

So he stands by the side of the victim

And has strength enough to forgive him

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

Means justified by the ending

Is the sinner and saint for defending

The bastard by him that is bleeding

Throws salt in the wounds of the needy

And the blood from the cut that is seething

And he gasps for the air we are breathing

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

Means justified by the ending

Is the sinner and saint for defending

Our hero is gone

God bless here’s a man of conviction

With evidence enough to convict him

So he stands by the side of the victim

And has strength enough to forgive him

The bastard by him that is bleeding

Throws salt in the wounds of the needy

And the blood from the cut that is seething

And he gasps for the air we are breathing

Hopefully nobody saw him

Hopefully nobody saw him

The means justified by the ending

Is the sinner and saint for defending
