lyrics

The gallop of fingers on keyboards
Here comes another frenzied virtual hoard
They’ve heard the rumours around town
And now it’s time to take this outlaw down

Hang him high
And hang him low
And hang him anywhere
Just as long as we see the bastard hang

Hang him high
And hang him low
And hang him anywhere
Don’t let him speak just let him hang

And we don’t care about what happened now
No we don’t really care what happened now
No we don’t wanna know what happened now
Cause we just wanna see him hang

Just kick the stool
And watch him die
On our screens at home
So we don’t have to look him in the eye

And we don’t need the hoods no more
We’ll do our lynching
Behind the safety of our bedroom doors

So welcome to the wild wild web
Where we are virtually the law man
Yeah welcome to the wild wild web
He’s virtually dead so bring us his head man

And they don’t care about what happened now
Well they weren’t there but yet they think they were
Yeah no one really cares what happened now
The world just wants to see me hang

Hang him high
And hang him low
And hang him anywhere
Just as long as we see the bastard hang

Hang him high
And hang him low
And hang him anywhere
Don’t let him speak just let him die
