Talk is cheap Money talks Show it to me And let me buy the lies at half price The movement was passed All objections were sustained I was the only who abstained But the motion was carried Commotion in the streets Protesters lying on the trail tracks waiting for the locomotive to come Mistrial! The tabloid business was  in the black The humanity department was in the red And the guilty were in the clear Even though the truth was out in the open Behind closed doors the politicians, the judges and the lawyers shook hands and smile sipping on nefarious brandy And now a murderer, a thief and a certified maniac are free to walk among us all and an innocent person who was at the wrong place at the wrong time is being put to death Someone doesn't know how to add or subtract because the calculations of this case do not make sense Or maybe it was planned by tactile suit and tie tyrants of law Docile, dishonest Yet, reputable Coaxing in the courtroom Dogs released on the rioting citizens outside The rest of the jury's heads in the clouds When a guiltless human being is facing the final curtain The scandal is apparent because the judge has been know to enjoy ******* and young ******** clad women On the surface I do not look like I've been driven up the wall But I now fear of never waking up The horror of unrest I want to detach myself from this thing These men jag their names into the wall of shame at the stag party And allow three evil men go free and an unlucky man meet his end I wish it wasn't all so technical

Miscarriage of Justice
Talk is cheap Money talks Show it to me And let me buy the lies at half price The movement was passed All objections were sustained I was the only who abstained But the motion was carried Commotion in the streets Protesters lying on the trail tracks waiting for the locomotive to come Mistrial!
