The 5th Amendments are waiting in the wings
Truth and Justice have been told to take a Compulsory Holiday
they will be gone for a long long while
Already in the Golf Club Committee Rooms
white lightening is flashing and connecting thunders
the sharpest eagle eyed Lawyers are on the move
phone lines are buzzing
favors are being called in and a wink here and a wink there
Guys, you know the score
Hey stay calm, we've got your back
Yah, the cities are burning, so whats new, we've been through worst
got a pal downtown City Hall
got a direct line to the Mayor's office
Rick knows John who knows Robert who was with Adam in Vietnam
just stay cool, its all under control
Will go through the motions, the red tapes, that's all, we've got your back

The Star spangle Banner flies high, higher in the white clouds
in months to come
more will come out
the Lawyers have been briefed, the pleas have been drafted
the scene is set for the showdown, yah! its the greatest show in town
the Lawyers are licking their lips
one or two are already looking at brochures for that super luxurious condo overlooking the sea at Miami beach
Truth and Justice have disappeared, destinations unknown
In the Courtroom it will be seen
He was a violent criminal with a long charge list
he resisted arrest and was very threatening, big guy, over 6.7
The Officer was actually performing the Heimlich move on his neck
because he had swallowed some stash of drugs he was carrying
this vilified Officer here, was actually trying to save his life
people don't know the truth
Corona's report will show he was a heavy drugs user,
he was already dying, this innocent Officer was just doing his duty

Land of the free and the brave
look at that video, see how the Officer safely held him from crossing that white line on the pavement
how can we be wrong for stopping them from crossing the White lines
So that we can all sleep happily and peacefully at night
Your Honor, if you like we can accept a plea-bargain of Involuntary Manslaughter, just to end this white-mare
five years serves three, keeps his pension
The Star spangled Banner flies high, higher over white skies
Reports are coming in
that Truth and Justice have been found murdered in unknown location
Initial Reports indicates their necks were broken
Its just another day in Minnesota, life goes on
Life goes on.........
