Ah, it aint so easy is it? you almost lost your place.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And perhaps youre wondering how youre going to cope with your disgrace.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well your wealth is well established and your friends were never few,
ch]G[/ch
And all the things they told you of youre finding to be true.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] ([ch]D[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch
Then I respect, respect, respect the coldest lie.
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well it doesnt really matter if shes living or shes dead,
ch]G[/ch
You just drive away forgetting that your bumpers dipped in red.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well if thats the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] ([ch]D[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch
Then I respect, respect, respect old jesse james.
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And they threw you into prison, just in case you could not pay.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well King Arthur jousted Lancelot, who stole away his wife;
ch]G[/ch
And your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath,
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] ([ch]D[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch
Then I respect, respect, the ones we put to death.
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And you won your case most easily and soon you will be free.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But there will be a million more who lose their liberty.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Not because of what they did, but what they did not do:
ch]G[/ch
They did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through.
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Why, they had no friends to call on and they could not raise their bail.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] ([ch]D[/ch]) [ch]G[/ch
Well if winning is what matters, I respect the ones who fail.
