Respectable

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