Coat and tie
You tote a legal pad and
brief case
Walk briskly up the south
side stair case
And enter through the courtroom
door.
Another slam dunk case
A civil action
No defendants to face
You win hands down 'cause
no one knows the score
You make your living off
the poor.
What day did you decide
That your own glory would
be based on lies?
Another judgment--a sweet
chunk of change
For filing papers on the
folks who sweat for minimum wage!
Who made you?!
I want to know what kind
of god created someone like you!
And when you cash their
checks
You don't look in their
eyes
'Cause legalese is your
arrogant, legal disguise.
Do you dowse yourself with
one more for the road
Before you buy another house
of theirs on which you've foreclosed?
Do you ever stop and pray?
Do you look into the mirror
Or do you gloat when you
calculate your profits for the year?
It's just another day
You tote a legal pad and
brief case
Walk briskly up the south
side staircase
And enter through the courtroom
door.
Another slam dunk case
A civil action
No defendants to face
You win hands down 'cause
no one knows the score
You make your living off
the poor
A legal living off the poor
A legal living... it's just
the poor. |
