Metallica

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor

Witchhunt modern day
Determining decay
The blattand disarray
Disfigure


The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending


Deafening. Painstaking. Reckoning.
This vertigo it doth bring


[chorus 1:]
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
[end chorus 1]


[chorus 2:]
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
[end chorus 2]


The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch 22
Deluding


A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal


Secretly. Silently. Certainly
In vertigo you will be


[chorus 1]


[chorus 2]
Shortest straw
[chorus 2]


Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending


The fallout has begun
Oppresive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing


You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending


Channels red
One word said
Blaclisted
With vertigo make you dead


[chorus 1]
Pulled for you
