lady Justice is blindfolded in the stone hall
she's bending to see what she can hear behind closed doors
this twisted system has her nailed to the courthouse floor
apparently you snuck past her by train at night
& slid right into my body's frame
poor lady she didn't hear a thing

oh, I hope you get what you deserve

my confidence, 44 hours of my time
my courage, half a bottle of red wine
my dignity, my pride
oh, I hope you're happy now, with all of your luggage in tow
but Justice, she'll know better than to turn a blind eye
it's not always the size of the crime

in trial mornings, I hope you can't remember me
please block this whole thing from your written, legal history
now Justice & I are finishing off the wine,
I'm telling her stories of my life, this prime,
the numbers of you who changed their minds

yes Justice will be my guardian now, she's armed swords & scales
I'll go to bed weighing out the marbles & lead nails
which scratches on my skin left me in more harm?
why did I ever wait for you at night, completely unarmed?
I can't give no satisfaction, but Justice, she don't mind,
she hands me her sword to fix where I'm broken inside
& we lay down to face the night,
blinded, knowing in the end we'll be right

we'll be stronger next time, we'll build city walls
we'll be smarter next time, we'll reconstruct laws
we'll be sober next time, & hide all our flaws

oh, I hope you get what you deserve
