Black and White

Maybe things just had more meaning in my childhood days We knew the law and we could see the error in our ways We didn’t need an interpreter for telling wrong from right The laws were clearly written, like our old TV, in black and white The lawyers took our rights and moved justice too far left To be a C E O, you need a P H D in theft Promises from politicians, we never get a fair shake Talking to a lawyer is like talking to a snake To be elected a congressman, it’s really no surprise You need a B S in bribery and a Masters degree in lies Diogenes searched for an honest man in Athens, until his feet were swollen If he had moved his search to Washington, his lantern would have been stolen If Washington were a ski resort then Bush would fit the bill He seemed to be an expert at taking things down hill Reagan lied about the Iran Contra deal. He was a movie star Clinton said under oath. It wasn’t sex. It was just an old cigar. Lawyers and liars and political desires are too far from the right We should have our say and change the gray back to black and white.
