Million Dollars Bail

She dialed 911 but the cops didn't come on time
 They found her on the marble with a bullet through her eye
 He was weaving back and forth, foaming at the lips
 So they took him in for questioning and inked his finger tips
 There's two kinds of justice everybody knows
 One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below
 Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail
 Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail
 They said she was a single girl that lived a double life
 He'd met her at the hatcheck stand and took her home that night
 No one knows what happened 'coz no one else was there
 No trial date was ever set, no one seems to care
 'Coz there's two kinds of justice everybody knows
 One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below
 Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail
 Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail
 On a million dollars bail
 They tell us all the world is small and life is selling cheap
 Anything can happen when you're walking in your sleep
 The court took charge and eyed the facts, bail was set at one cool mil
 Calls were made and debts were paid, the lawyers worked with skill
 Eternity is longer than one night inside a box
 And if you're heading for the jail house, now's the time to pick the locks
 But there's a sentence passed on every soul, someday we all must die
 When the question's not who pulls the switch, it's how you lived and why
 There's two kinds of justice everybody knows
 One for folks up on the hill, the other's down below
 Everyone is talking 'bout the night he spent in jail
 Today he's free out walking on a million dollars bail
 On a million dollars bail
