Fallacy

Scratching of the surface, to self-redemption
 Every sinner's calling, to bathe in forgiveness
 Confess to man, to pardon what you have done
 A higher place above where all transgression is gone
 Not all commandments broken are from the pious
 Bowing to the altar of the public's estimation
 Perpetrators to be shamed, ostracized existence
 Force out of the spotlight, time to beg visibly
 Purged of the crisis, claiming to recognize
 Time served in rehab, arise in new-found glory
 ♪
 Clearly caught red-handed, before the mob takes action
 Bowing down to Oprah clearly the best decision
 Provided that you kiss the ring, make the payment in full
 Cleansed of wrongdoing, newly earned protections
 Armor of apology
 Bow down to dogma
 Paid absolution
 What the fuck?
 Misled, inflated, busted
 Time to learn your place
 Circle the wagons, initiate
 Judged by your own
 Elites that bow down to their peers, in convincing status
 Racist, junkie, selfish, dummy; diminishing apparatus
 Discerning citizenry performing obligatory duty
 Judgements made in back-stabbing ways, makes for traitorous company
 Busted for any sins that reflect on the sophisticate's conduct
 Made an example for engrossed public's narrow focus
 Misled, inflated, busted
 Time to learn your place
 Circle the wagons, initiate
 Judged by your own
 Celebrity and fame the industry built on envy
 Disgraced now disappear, then return to the aristocracy
