17 GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER

"I cannot remember
it’s been so long ago"
but it happens every fucking day
the rich men buy the law

They legalize their game
our freedom’s down the drain

Ninehundred-fifty thousand bucks
a fat cat pays his man
but now he can’t remember
what bank-account it’s in

Politician in his hand
saves him embarrasment

Two years for a gram of hash
five years for a theft
but for a man of his prestige
a question is too tough

The banker and his P.A.C.
the whole world in their sack
