Cover art for The Case of William Smith lyrics by Astronautalis

"If you'd a told me back then That the words from my pen Would end up bein' a pain of mine I'd never change a damn thing

I'm so shocking to your ears That the treaties you revere Would suffer such assessment At the status of ___"

Should be:

If you'd've told me back then That the words of my pen Would've branded me a paynim I'd've never changed a damn thing

It must shocking to your ears That the treatise you revere Would suffer such assessment At the stylus of a confrere

"Converted in question And career upon the line I suffer your reckless sanctions With a clarity of mind

The charges that you lay Against my character are faith full And burden you with shame When you face the gruesome paradise"

Should be:

Covenant in question And career upon the line I'll suffer your reckless sanctions With a clarity of mind

The charges that you lay against My character and faith Will burden you with shame When you face the Prince in Paradise.
