OK?


OKLAHOMA [2014]
They could've picked a better way to end a life
It's untested; they'll give it to you straight
Starting as a prisoner headin' for the afterlife
Soon be dying in a backwards state
Backwards state, gonna seal your fate!

Gonna give you acid, caustic, not fentanyl
Nothin' fer the heartache, just a bitter pill
Flowers on the tombstone where the June bugs feast
No need for air when you are deceased
Pity you couldn't swing by rope
'Cause a botched injection leaves no hope

Oklahoma!
Where the death comes laden down with pain
Where the cheering crowd
Can't be cowed
When the death comes right behind the pain

Oklahoma!
Every night my red-necked friend and I
High-five our culture
And watch a vulture
Making lazy circles in the sky

We know we belong to a folk
The rest of the world thinks is a joke
And when we say Yeeow!
Ayipioeeay! Yeeow!
We're only saying "You're killin' fine Oklahoma"
Oklahoma O-K

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Oklahoma!
