Judge and Jury
IF I may approach the bench;
Do not hold in me in comtempt,
Do not judge me with your plantiff eyes,
Ive sworn to the truth
And married the lie,
Ive given the facts;
Proclaimed my innocence.
You threw the book at me,
Too soon.
Im too late,
Let your bitter judgement rule...
Why am I on trial?
I plead only on the basis
Of this hung jury,
You've made up your mind
And I cant change ignorance...
I can just appeal.
There's no justice in doubt,
No doubt the in the truth;
Bang your mallot,
Hang up your robe;
May I suggest a plea bargain?
We agree to disagree....
But you've already cast my fate:
CASE dismissed.
