lyrics

I ain’t a prosecutor, but I got a moral code
well if i defend you, it’s partly cause I like nice clothes
I ain’t saying your guilty and you gotta pay
but sometimes the guilty gotta pay
it’s too overwhelming sometimes to seek the truth
it’s easier sometimes to seek a truth you can use
no matter the deal, sometimes you always refuse
and now you got the going to jail blues
it’s a lifetime of action, a lifetime of waiting
there’s waiting in action, and action in delay
we draw a line between the act and consequence
we draw another line between result and aftermath
I ain’t saying you deserve a harsh sentence
but sometimes the guilty gotta pay
it’s too overwhelming sometimes to seek the truth
it’s easier sometimes to seek a truth you can use
no matter the deal, sometimes you always refuse
and now you got the going to jail blues
and now you got the going to jail blues.
