Lyrics

The jury breaks, deliberate another day
When will you understand
I've made mistakes but wouldn't even hesitate
To devastate this evil man
There's no excuse for alcohol and drug abuse
And other forms of contraband
Can't you see the rules do not apply to me
I get away with what I can

You never really know how far you're gonna go until you're there
By then it's far too late
Got a short attention span
It's hard to concentrate
Sign your name on the dotted line
Let someone else decide your fate
It's not as bad as you think it is
You can afford to pay the going rate

Spell it out beyond a reasonable doubt
Hang the jury and set me free
Got a grudge, what's giving you the right to judge
Tenure and a law degree
My only vice are all my favorite things in life
And I won't accept a plea
Wear a suit for a better chance in your pursuit
To beat the system and fool the jury

If you couldn't pay the price
Justice wouldn't be so nice
The dollar tips the scale
Freedom isn't always free
Your family doesn't have money
To keep you out of jail
