Guilty Until Innocent

Hook

If you ever wonder where our freedoms went,

In our legal system, it’s guilty until proven innocent.

Just whatever you do, don’t try to hard to look,

The status quo is judge the cover then proceed to burn the book. 

 

Yes hedonism cuts ice well in the biggest cities,

Moving from place to place like stylish gypsies,

But behind every large fortune lies a big crime,

The bigger the reward, then the bigger the lie.

 

Verse 1

Walk the dog, water the garden,

How do you do? Sorry, beg your pardon,

Please the wife then go wash the car 

Pay the mortgage, don’t work too hard.

 

Queue in line, don’t feed your dreams,

Report anything that’s not as it seems 

Be just like the rest, big men don’t cry. 

Bowing your head, that’s how freedoms die.

Yes hedonism cuts ice well in the biggest cities,

Moving around place to place like stylish gypsies,

But behind every large fortune lies a big crime,

The bigger the reward, then the bigger the lie.

 

Verse 2

Just one allegation can have you out your job

One jealous girlfriend with a story and a sob

Never have we believed in hearsay so much

In this world of fantasy, lies becomes the crutch 

 

Self-pity is the latest fad and addiction,

Speaking in beliefs without any conviction. 

Rushing to build a world where everyone’s a victim,

Disneyland for every bully, we built the perfect system.

Verse 3

Faith in the law whilst your employers make you impotent.

Chased by professional activists who are militant 

Fight for your rights, put history straight for the record,

Bankrupt yourself with a law case, that you can’t afford,

 

Where are we going? What has humanity become?

What is the youth today, how are they so dumb?

How is it that they can not have any proper views.

I know it is the case, it’s all they report on the news.
