The Shortest Straw is from Metallica's hugely popular ...and justic for all album.
Lyrics
Suspicion is your name,
Your honesty to blame,
Put dignity to shame,
Dishonor,
Witchhunt, modern day,
Determining decay,
The blatant disarray,
Disfigure,
The public eyes' disgrace,
Defying common place,
Unending paper chase,
Unending
Deafening,
Painstaking,
Reckoning,
This vertigo it does bring
Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
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
Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Pulled for you,
Shortest straw,
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Behind you, hands are tied,
Your being, ostracized,
YOur hell is multiplied,
Upending,
The fallout has begun,
Oppressive 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,
Blacklisted,
With vertigo make you dead
Shorstest straw,
Challenge liberty,
Downed by law,
Live in infamy,
Rub you raw,
Witchhunt riding through,
Shortest straw,
The shortest straw has been pulled for you,
Pulled for you
