Respectable - Don McLean[00:00:00]

Ah it ain't so easy is it you almost lost your place[00:00:03]

And perhaps you're wondering[00:00:08]

How you're going to cope with your disgrace[00:00:09]

Well your wealth is well established[00:00:14]

And your friends were never few[00:00:15]

And all the things they told you of you're finding to be true[00:00:18]

Well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die[00:00:25]

Then I respect respect respect the coldest lie[00:00:30]

And you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels[00:00:38]

And you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels[00:00:44]

Well it doesn't really matter if she's living or she's dead[00:00:49]

You just drive away forgetting[00:00:53]

That your bumper's dipped in red[00:00:55]

Well if that's the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims[00:01:00]

Then I respect respect respect old Jesse James[00:01:05]

And most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey[00:01:13]

And they threw you into prison just in case you could not pay[00:01:19]

Well king Arthur jousted Lancelot who stole away his wife[00:01:24]

And your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life[00:01:28]

Well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath[00:01:35]

Then I respect respect the ones we put to death[00:01:40]

And you won your case most easily and soon you will be free[00:01:48]

But there will be a million more who lose their liberty[00:01:53]

Not because of what they did but what they did not do[00:01:59]

They did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through[00:02:05]

Why they had no friends to call on[00:02:12]

And they could not raise their bail[00:02:14]

Well if winning is what matters I respect the ones who fail[00:02:17]
