Nothing and Nothing But
Nothing and nothing but
As many possible differing versions
of excuses
And lies that both my mind and tounge
and lips can come across
Will i unashamedly not be prepared
to use if there is the slightest chance
it may get me off
Because this is an open and shut
case shouldn't be heard out in court everyone knows i am guilty as hell
can't even come up with a plausible
alibi
So i've spent and assembled
the most morally corrupt legal
team of minds that money can buy
since O.J Simpson
So hopefully i should be out
and home in time for Christmas
Otherwise what sort of message
would it send to the powerful and
wealthy if both they and astronomical
amounts of money spent can't buy justice
What would the point be then
and why on earth would they be
willing to hire them in the
first place if the verdict wasn't
guaranteed
Otherwise prison would be full
of just as many rich as they are
poor people
