Something must be done about the lone man 
Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan 
He is eaten up with hate 
Got your attention far too late 
Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand 

He seemed like such a nice guy 
To his neighbors 
Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors 
Nobody ever knew him 
There was nobody to see through him 
He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers 

Who's gonna be the hangman 
Who's gonna be the judge 
Who's gonna cast the first stone 
Who'll settle up this grudge 

It's so obvious the man is guilty 
Tell me who is capable of showing any pity 
Can anybody name the real assassin 

No one's gonna take responsibility 
How did this man come out of our society 
Could our intervention 
Have prevented his intention 
Well you know he's gonna plead insanity 

Who's gonna be the hangman 
Who's gonna be the judge 
Who's gonna cast the first stone 
Who'll settle up this grudge 
Who's gonna be the hangman 
Who's gonna be the judge 
Who's gonna cast the first stone 
Who'll settle up this grudge 

It's so obvious the man is guilty 
Now tell me who is capable showing any pity 
Can anybody name the real assassin
