X-Ecutioners Song by The X-Ecutioners Lyrics

January 17, 1977. It's early morning at the Utah State Prison. Reports and TV crews are on hand to witness an event. Capital punishment has not been practiced in over 10 years in the United States. Surrounded in controversy, Gary Gilmore was about to enter in the center of a vale of trouble

X-ecutioner
Only the strong survive

You could run but no man is safe
Hey keep the show crews running
Like they're supposed to

Is very simple and fun
All it takes is good balance and good hand eye co-ordination
Keep your eyes at the balls at all times
Remember practice practice practice
Let me show you how to do it properly
