Pigs is Pigs by Every Time I Die

Track 2 on Every Time I Die's 2007 album, The Big Dirty. Ferret Records. Lyrics:
Oh lord, I am saved
Judge says I am fit to swing
'bout time I have prayed
My woman just might wear my ring

Oh you know I'm no good
You know I'm no good at court-ordered goodbyes
But when I'm gone, you'll see;
I'll be a better man yet
For the dispossessed get taken back into your arms
Better keep me close to your heart
You'd better keep me close to your heart

The divine had me cornered in a storm
And he let me walk out the front door at the scene of the crime

Hang 'em high; keep your vows brief
Let 'em swing
Make his swindle an art
And if you still believe that men guilty of love can survive,
Then hang 'em high or not at all

Oh you know it gets hard
It just gets so hard going limp in your arms
I am clutching a smoking gun
There is no chance of me walking out of here alive
This is all very literal
I can't bring myself around to write an excuse this time

We're liberated by the hearts that imprison us
We're taken hostage by the ones that we break
Throw the book, throw the book

You had me strung up by the tail and you put me back
Hang 'em high; keep your vows brief
Let 'em swing
Make his swindle an art.
And if you still believe that men guilty of love can survive,
Then hang 'em high or not at all

Where did you get the privilege to pardon me?
