The jury used common sense, the trial ended but the
Lawmen couldn't keep all the monsters in
Details came out in the media coverage
Vilified the mis-tried on fake witnesses' suffrage
Elements of a smear job, bob weave and duck, the
Right hook still lands although the charges ain't stuck
A new beginning, innocence proved, but with a
Rook two steps from the queen seems the table was moved
The direction pulls while they push from sidelines
Misconception of guilt based on lack of preparation
The goose was cooked by the time it was plucked but they
Fry until its dried up and blackened how they like
Hard times for all, water crawls down the wall, rain falling
Faster than the case when there's half enough to call it
Justice, but the fact that they tried still renders a
Paycheck, not yet though, the chalkline is still
Fresh on the pavement and with the money spent they
Need a body to fill and the congregation on
The courthouse steps looks promising
Defense was exacerbated so we lacerated it with
Hard facts, posting latex truths spread on cork under
Thumb tacks, shown to the court for the sport of
Argument arming them with the confidence to believe lies
Congregated baited the agents they procreated
We figured on checkmating couldn't wait was so
Elated it's amazing how hated by the jaded they
Were swayed by the plays we made
Give them credit for the loyalty while we played pawns
As royalty the strategy got taken by the god damn truth
Loose lips gave them the tip they needed soon as the
Man was bleeding they sowed up the wound and we motion defeated
But on the stools across the road from the stage
We discuss the vital flaws in our plan
One loss in the bag, first rounds on me,
Thank god they didn't convict an innocent right? Bottoms up
