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?
