American Justice

A time for golfing after the crime Crime committed but do no time American justice is that what you call it When guilt is determined by the size of your wallet The government doesn't care if it's not fair As long as they get their fair share If Capone had paid his taxes long ago He would have been Mayor of Chicago If you have the cash, judges sit in awe And put your actions above the law A push for gun control is really hot So their friends, the criminals, won't get shot Hail the defendant, put his name in lights Deny the victim his civil rights For child molesters we need to change course I would recommend a vigilante force We can't fix organized crime and that's a sin It's our own fault because we voted them in American justice will never be the best Until we enforce the laws like they did in the Old West.
