A Harsh Reality
I Found A Harsh Reality
While Reading California Law
The Ones Hired To Protect Us
Don't Follow Any Rules At AllThey Take Advantage Of Their Power
Most Make Up Their Own Rules
They Manipulate The System
With Corruption As Their Tools
Innocent 'Til Proven Guilty
Just Another Fairy Tale
Even When Wrongly Convicted
You Get No Freedom Without Bail
Why Do Our Public Defenders
As Well As Our D.A.'s
Plea bargain With Our Lives
For The Sake Of Court Delays
Money Buys Your Innocence
Guilty Verdicts For The Poor
No Equal Representation
If Money Walks You Out The Door
Your Charges Are Created
From The Assumption Of A Cop
Your Freedom Stripped Away
And Your Life Comes To A Stop
Coincidence For Evidence
That Is All They Really Need
To Make Victims Of The Innocent
For Their Own Conviction Greed
A Finger Points In Your Direction
The Accustaion Is A Fraud
No Investigation Needed
They Just Keep The Charges Broad
Conspiracy To Commit A Crime
A Charge That Never Fails
To Justify A Search Warrant
Without Specified Details
Your Fourth Amendment Rights Are Violated
So Now They Must Move Quick
They Phish Through Your Posessions
To Find Something That Will Stick
Your Explanations Not Considered
And The Truth Will Not Be Heard
They Manipulate Your Intentions
And They Make The Final Word
Arresting Officers Don't Want The Truth
If The Truth Will Prove Them Wrong
And The Law Protects Their Actions
With The Same Ol' Dance And Song
"Police Actions Were Found Justified"
"There Will Be No Investigation"
But Now Your'e Broke And Jobless
And Left To Dwell In Your Frustration
You Get No Reimbursement
For The Lawyer That You Hired
And No Apology
When Their Accustaions Got You Fired
No Recourse For Their Actions
It's Their Responsibilty
To Pay For Their Mistakes
So They Can't Ruin Lives For Free!
