The Shortest Straw Lyrics - Metallica

1 Suspicion is your name, your honesty to blame

2 Put dignity to shame, dishonor

3 Witch hunt, modern day, determining decay

4 The blatant disarray, disfigure

5 The public eyes' disgrace, defying common place

6 Unending paper chase, unending

7 Deafening, painstaking

8 Reckoning, this vertigo it doth bring

9 Shortest straw, challenge liberty

10 Downed by law, live in infamy

11 Rub you raw, witch hunt riding through

12 Shortest straw, this shortest straw has been pulled for you

13 Pulled for you, shortest straw

14 Pulled for you, shortest straw

15 Pulled for you, shortest straw

16 Shortest straw has been pulled for you

17 The accusations fly, discrimination, why?

18 Your inner self to die, intruding

19 Doubt sunk itself in you, its teeth and talons through

20 You're living catch-22, deluding

21 A mass hysteria, a megalomania

22 Reveal dementia, reveal

23 Secretly, silently

24 Certainly in vertigo you will be

25 Shortest straw, challenge liberty

26 Downed by law, live in infamy

27 Rub you raw, witch hunt riding through

28 Shortest straw, this shortest straw has been pulled for you

29 Pulled for you, shortest straw

30 Pulled for you, shortest straw

31 Pulled for you, shortest straw

32 Shortest straw has been pulled for you

33 Shortest straw

34 Pulled for you, shortest straw

35 Pulled for you, shortest straw

36 Pulled for you, shortest straw

37 Shortest straw has been pulled for you

38 Behind you, hands are tied, your being, ostracized

39 Your Hell is multiplied, upending

40 The fallout has begun, oppressive damage done

41 Your many turned to none to nothing

42 You're reaching your nadir, your will has disappeared

43 The lie is crystal clear, defending

44 Channels red, one word said

45 Blacklisted with vertigo make you dead

46 Shortest straw, challenge liberty

47 Downed by law, live in infamy

48 Rub you raw, witch hunt riding through

49 Shortest straw, this shortest straw has been pulled for you

50 Pulled for you
