The Rule of Law

So that's the way it is now
You can't believe what anybody says now
Y'all got an agenda everybody's got a line
It's all some kind of power play
And we're all just seconds away
From some kind of thought crime

Closed ranks and off-shore banks
Just a puddle hopper away from hiding it all
You got the pilot and the gangster
The accountant and the lawyer
And they all got a politician in the pocket
Of their tropical Shirt
Gonna hide all the dirt

They say they follow the money
Yeah
But never all the way down the line
That's where the sun never shines
At the end of the line

When the rule of law walks out the door
The devil walks in
When the rule of law walks out the door
The devil walks in

And everyone's corruptible and everyone's a mule
If it's plausibly deniable
Hell show me what the rule is
It's not that I don't remember I simply can't recall
Doing seeing hearing saying anything at all
I simply can't recall

When the rule of law walks out the door
The devil walks in
When the rule of law walks out the door
The devil walks in

There ain't no shame it's just a game
It all paid off you made it back to the top
And you put all your guilt in a little old box
And you hide it away
But you see it in your eyes
When you're hiding in plain sight
Plain enough for everyone to see

The rule of law walked out the door
And the devil walked in
Yeah the rule of law walked out the door
And the devil walked in

Put his feet up
And made himself at home
Right at home

So that's the way it is now
That's the way it is now
