He lived right across the street

It was on the news for the world to see

cried before the judge in court so they

sent him away for just a little while

Mornin' found him in his cell
 
A
Somebody sent him straight to hell

Go on, do your dirty work

In your tailored suit and your clean white shirt

and hide inside a little glass pipe

Said give up the money as he slapped his face

And it sounds like justice to me
