They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

They say that ev'ry man must fall

Somewhere so high above this wall

Now yonder standing there in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
