The D.A. is dressed to the nines
|
In the mirror he practices all his lines
|
To his closing arguments 12 hearts beat in favor
|
I'm guessing that he read the morning paper
|
The headline heads 'THe Man Hangs'
|
But the jury doesnt...
|
|
Everyone's looking for relief
|
United States vs. disbelief
|
Mothers cast tears on both sides of the isle
|
|
Case open- case shut
|
But you could pay to clsoe it like a casket
|
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
|
Isn't it tragic?
|
|
whoa
|
|
He glances at his peers sitting seven to 12
|
stacked on 1 to 6 the gallery is hushed
|
Boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado
|
The city sleeps in a cell
|
Notwithstanding what we all know
|
Hang on a rope or bated breath
|
Whichever you prefer
|
|
Everyone's looking for relief
|
A bidding war for an old friend's grief
|
The cause, the kid, the course, the charm and the curse,
|
Not a word that could make you comprehend
|
Too well dressed for the witness stand
|
THe press prays for whichever headline's worse
|
|
Case open- case shut
|
But you could pay to clsoe it like a casket
|
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
|
Isn't it tragic?
|
|
Fresh pressed suit and tie
|
Unimpressed birds sing and die
|
"Can talk my way out of anything"
|
THe forman reads the verdict
|
"In the above entitled actions we find the defendant guilty"
|
|
Case open- case shut
|
But you could pay to clsoe it like a casket
|
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
|
Isn't it tragic?
|
|
Case open- case shut
|
But you could pay to clsoe it like a casket
|
Baby boy can't lift his headache head
|
Isn't it tragic?
