Ah, it so easy is it? you almost lost your place. And perhaps you're wondering how going to cope with your disgrace. Well your wealth is well established and your friends were few, And all the things they told you of you're to be true. Well if truth can the guilty while the innocent must die, Then I respect, respect, respect the lie.
And you talk of human justice while you on fancy wheels. And you push them to their just to see how nice it feels. Well it doesn't really matter if she's living or dead, You just drive away forgetting that your bumper's in red. if that's the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims, Then I respect, respect, respect old james.
And most cordially they you and they asked you to obey. And they you into prison, just in case you could not pay. Well king jousted lancelot, who stole away his wife; And lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life. if living is what matters though you lie with every breath, Then I respect, respect, the we put to death.
And you won case most easily and soon you will be free. But there be a million more who lose their liberty. Not of what they did, but what they did not do: They did not pay a or a judge to see them through. Why, they had no friends to call on and could not raise their bail. Well if is what matters, I respect the ones who fail.
