No Judge in the Courthouse

No Judge in the Courthouse.

No judge in the courthouse
No prisoner in a cell
No smiling with clean hands
No false morals to sell

No saying you got what you deserve
Or preaching aloud at the weak
You can take out the cruelty inside
And stop turning the other cheek

No blame because you’re broke
No escape if money is your key
No guilt because a VIP spoke
Cut the rope down from the tree

No judge in the courthouse
No gavel hitting the wood
No guilt by your appearance
Or because of your neighbourhood

Let me ask you for an answer
About corporate or criminal greed
Who’s the trustee who’s the chancer
And who’s the quickest to be freed

You can act out of desperation
But without high friends you’ll fail
The bankers celebrate the occasion
Of never ever going to jail

No judge in the courthouse
Will convict those in the know
They’ve got front seat tickets
To watch the prison population grow
