Meeting With the Lawyer

We’ll win this—
Because we’re not the ones lying?
No, because we’re good liars—
Aren’t we?
The truth will set you free—you say?
I don't need to be free:
I'm Clever—I'm Greed
And that’s all we[I] need to succeed

Wow ... you sure pulled the rug out from the ugly truth of the profession. I've always felt this away about lawyers. Do you purposely try to lose if you know them to be guilty ... or do you to try to win at all cost, in willful disregard to ethics? Your words cut like a knife, leaving no stone un-turned ... GREAT brevity!
