SLAWSON'S COURT

about

Putting The System On Trial

lyrics

It was a cold December morning
Two thousand fourteen
Getting cold for California
Sixty-five degrees

Our handsome hero took the stand
And told it like it is
Microphone small in his hand
Their eyes all opened big

And then the witch went back to Texas
Bawling like a baby
Devil's tail between her legs
Crying someone save me

So please my friend remember
If you've got troubles long or short
Wrap them in a flag of truth
And take them down to Slawson's Court

You'll be treated fairly
You'll be treated well
Amidst a sea of insolence
And vipers spitting drool

When your backed into a corner
And your back's against the wall
Tilt your chin up to the sky
And walk in standing tall

In a world deplete of justice
Where nice guys finish last
You can rewrite your own history
And leave the past the past

So spread the good word far and wide
From the mountains to the port
Wave your banners proud and high
And march on down to Slawson's Court

It may seem counter-balanced
To trust a system down
But faith will come on faith
And square will bend to round

It's hard to keep your footing
When the world has got you down
But once in a great while
The good guys hold their ground
