Impunity

You walk around, felling like you're above the law Shielded by family immunity Get disorderly when you paint the town, brawling, hitting people in the jaw Yet you're called a pillar of the community You lack basic people skills, heredity always handed everything to you A silver spoon fed spoiled brat Never had to pay your own bills, you said that's what little people like us do Society traps don't catch aristocratic rats Tapped into the trust fund when you turned twenty one Such is the privileged life of a senator's son Picked up three DUI's, and a couple of solicitation violations Even got caught with an unregistered gun No charges ever stuck with you, a Teflon man through and through Parlayed your inheritance into racketeering too But you don't care, you're ruthless like your pa ... taking other people's money is what excites you Extorting at every opportunity You sneer at judges with impunity, 'cause you own more suits and uniforms colored blue And you love being called Big Daddy's little outlaw
