Lyrics
Ron Keyes Taxi ID#: C-0702-6574
VERDICT
V.1
The judicial system in these un-United States is broken
Trying to catch its breath but it?s chokin?
Man you gotta be jokin?
It?s useless there so what?s the sense to try
V.2
An institution like a worn-out car that?s rusted
Can?t be trusted
Won?t run ?cause it?s busted
Depends on how much justice you can buy
CHORUS:
Time to tear it down (4X)
V.3
School book expectations are mistaken
Black heart, back-breakin?
Can?t give back what?s been taken
Trying to pass a sentence on your soul
V.4
The devil sure looks natural holding a gavel
Wants you to travel
Face down in the gravel
And don?t you wish you could just go home
CHORUS
V.5
Judges and lawyers are bustin? right out of their britches
From down here in the ditches
They?re all sons-of-bitches
CHORUS
