Name -- A Crucible Song

a song from the POV of Proctor. Read the rest of the description below, again, it wouldn't let me put the full one in here >.<

Full Description:
a song from the POV of Proctor.
Proctor is the one tolerable character in The Crucible. I love how he spends the greater majority of the play being all, "F**k everyone. You're all goddamn stupid." So, that's what I was trying to convey in the song.

This world has ceased in trying to make sense
Priorities no longer ordered in importance
Little girls who don't behave
Fools who buy the fibs of babes
Idiots fall for this trickery
That everyone is certain to be true
But not I

A man must be a hero to his sons
A moral stance to them you will have sung
And soldiers die for less than this
Your convoluted genesis
Which knocks me down but makes me strong
Accuse my wife? Well you're damn wrong
They've all been blinded by this clueless fear
But not I
Oh not I

I will not sink to the new lows that you have made
I'll stand my own
And I'll be damned if I should ever fade
I'll not succumb to your childish game
Even if I face the noose's cold, harsh stare
This is a fight worth fighting for what's fair
And a name is always more than just a name

Please tell my wife I'm sorry for this crime
I never thought to betray her one more time
I know that she will understand
This is my chance to be a man
I will not budge, I'll shout my mind
I will be true, I won't be blind
And in the end they'll all know I was right
I was right

I will not sink to the new lows that you have made
I'll stand my own
And I'll be damned if I should ever fade
I'll not succumb to your childish game
Even if I face the noose's cold, harsh stare
This is a fight worth fighting for what's fair
And a name is always more than just a name

And Abbey, Abbey, you should know
I will see you down below
A w***e's a w***e, you know it's true
So I shall burn in hell with you
Someday

I will not sink to the new lows that you have made
I'll stand my own
And I'll be damned if I should ever fade
I'll not succumb to your childish game
Even if I face the noose's cold, harsh stare
This is a fight worth fighting for what's fair
And a name is always more than just a name
And a name is always more than just a name
And a name, well, it is more than just a name
