Blood gone bad

The courthouse crowds been getting out of hand
Cause billy's on trial for killing a man
12 Chosen men went to right his wrong
He’s gonna be dancing to the music of the hang man's song

Somewhere inside, where you laugh and cry
The hurt’s the same when love turns to pain

Mama brought him up just the best she could
She always said that he was misunderstood

No body took the time to try and understand
That the kid wasn't born with a gun in his hand

Somewhere inside, where you laugh and cry
The hurt’s the same, when love turns to pain

Blood gone bad, all you see is red
Has the world gone mad?
The boy is blamed instead

Daddy held his boy and billy lost control
Burning up inside until his blood ran cold
The old man's eyes he recognized his son
As billy looked down the sight of the smoking gun

Somewhere inside, where you laugh and cry
The hurts the same when love turns to pain

Blood gone bad, all you see is red
Has the world gone mad?
The boy is blamed instead
When good blood goes bad, honesty is dead
Has the world gone mad?
The boy is blamed
