Plea Bargaining
©2007 Dakota Sid Clifford


Busted for nothing’, the prescription was fine
Still you’re charged with 16 various, heinous crimes
Stuff you wouldn’t even thought of, in your younger wilder life
But if you don’t plea bargain son, we’re arresting your wife

Plea bargaining, how they love that sound
I say get yourself a lawyer, spread the wealth around
Keep bargaining, while another man goes down
Hitch up your pants, pull down your hat, stand your ground

They say then we’ll take you children, and your property too
Your pets and your livestock, will be made into glue
We’ll screw up everything, you ever wanted to be
You just tell us this one little lie son and we’ll set you free

Plea bargaining, how they love that sound
Get yourself a lawyer, spread the wealth around
Keep bargaining, another kid goes down
Hitch up your pants, pull down your hat, stand your ground

Instrumental

Of course you’ll have a record, and probation too
Us good folks will be watching, everything that you do
You will be living in fear and dispair
And you can’t complain, ‘cause you pleaded to be there

Plea bargaining, how they love that sound
Get yourself a lawyer son, spread the wealth around
Keep bargaining, and we’ll all go down
Hitch up your pants, pull down your hat, stand your ground
Come on hitch up your pants, pull down your hat, and stand your ground
