Is Justice Really Blind?

You say the justice system
Is very fair and true
But I don’t believe it
Especially from you

Because when you have money
Freedom can be bought
That is a simple lesson
Early on I was taught

If you have great wealth
There’s much you can achieve
Because without money
There’s little reason to believe

That justice is really blind
And the law will treat you right
All these thoughts come to me
As I sleep in my cell tonight
