He contemplated suicide
Before taking that Bronco ride
Cos from himself he couldn’t hide
So is he guilty you decide
He wasn’t in the jury’s eyes
The verdict was a big surprise
Not guilty was the compromise
They brought into his lawyer’s lies

He had a gun held to his head
If there was justice he’d be dead
He was allowed to walk instead
Which had the Goldmans seeing red
Some folks were glad he beat the odds
Judging by their loud applause
I wonder if it was because
The prosecution’s case had flaws

Public opinion ran amuck
Some people asked, “What the ****?”
Two people dead that someone stuck
Guess you could say that he had luck
Still not guilty isn’t absolution
Because there’ll be some retribution
For karma there’s no substitution

There is a God as we can see
He’s doing time for robbery
Of his own stuff but here’s what’s key
Had he called the law he’d still be free
A brand new day has arisen
So now he rots away in prison
Just as long as he's still living
He has to pay to be forgiven
