Lyrics
lizzie's gone to her reward and i will go to mine
long after the aftermath became an afterthought
lizzie did you see their faces when you closed your eyes?
did you learn in sunday school the lessons that you taught?
lizzie, the public must learn
what all schoolchildren know
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
lizzie andrew borden died a sister, not a friend
i know things about her that she never knew herself
everything i want to say about her goes unsaid
bitter is the fruit that's bought with misbegotten wealth
lizzie, the public must learn
what all schoolchildren know
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
lizzie, did you do it? do i really want to know?
i've heard children singing "lizzie borden took an axe"
lizzie, are you sorry? am i sorry? maybe no
something soft inside me perished after the attacks
lizzie, the public must learn
what all schoolchildren know
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
open the curtains at maplecroft
make sure the table is laid
put out the china and silverware
i'm sure the debt is repaid
lizzie, the public must learn
what all schoolchildren know
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
lizzie, the public must learn
what all schoolchildren know
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
do evil in return and you incur
a debt you owe
