Did you read the news todaynAbout the town of LincolnnThey were told they'd have to paynFor the crime of thinkingnnPenalties imposed before the rot could sink innI guess we've seen it all before...nI guess we've seen it allnnFrom the docks a lone voice camenAnd the judges listenednnWe will not play your gamesnOr accept your systemnnHave it your own waynBut you will die in prisonnnI guess we've seen it all before...nI guess we've seen it allnnDid you read the news todaynAbout the town of LincolnnI guess we've seen it all beforennThey were told they'd have to paynFor the crime of thinkingnI guess we've seen it allnnWith their backs against the wallnAnd the clocks a'tickingnI guess we've seen it all beforennAnd as they left the court in chainsnAh, you could hear them singing:nYou're gonna see your cities fallnYou thought you'd seen it all, right?nYou thought you'd seen it allnYou thought you'd seen it all, right?
