Liner Notes

I couldn't finish this yesterday for (catdinnerschedulesneighbors) reasons. #skirmish #bendingtherules #filker #girlwithguitar #acousticonetake

Fun fact, now I have two songs with Justice and two songs with Anger in it.

Lyrics

Law and Justice By C.J. Ueberall

I follow the law by the book. I know every line, every punctuation. I’m a regular person not a crook. I can’t just ignore the rules. I admit sometimes it is hard. Some laws seem a bit arbitrary. But I’m a normal person not a bard. Lawlessness is for fools.

I follow the code of justice. I do what is right. It’s not the words it’s the meaning, give Justice back her sight. I am guided by compassion, I am fighting crime and greed When the courts bow down to an evil reign I am what you need

I will do what is my duty. I won’t give up my convictions. In order there is beauty, when it is framed by righteous law To that I bend my knee, not to tyranny or the wealthy Against them I’d raise a plea, that’s what I’m standing for

I follow the code of justice. I do what is right It’s not the words it’s the meaning, give Justice back her sight. I am guided by rules of honor, against corruption and deceit When the courts bow down to an evil reign I am what you need

We follow the code of justice. We do what is right It’s not the words it’s the meaning, give Justice back her sight.

Powerful words for these troubled times:

I am guided by rules of honor, against corruption and deceit When the courts bow down to an evil reign I am what you need

I like that you address the courts not always being just and people needing to stand up for what is right. Very timely.

Thanks for those lyrics. We need rules to keep us righteous and honorable. Otherwise: chaos
