[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Condemnation, tried
Here on the stand with the book in my hand
And truth on my side
Accusations, lies
Hand me my sentence, I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If for honesty you want apologies
I don't sympathise
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

[Interlude: Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Condemnation, why?
Because my duty was always to beauty
That was my crime
Feel elation, high
To know I can trust this fix of injustice
Time after time
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If you see purity as immaturity
Well, it's no surprise
If for kindness you substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

[Outro: Hildia Campbell, Samantha Smith & Dave Gahan]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh ("Alright!")
Oh, oh, oh, oh ("Come on, now! Come on!")
Oh, oh, oh, oh ("Oh!")
Oh, oh, oh, oh ("Yeah!")
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
"Thank you."
