Brian West - 34 Felonies Lyrics

I woke up one morning, got a knock on the door
34 felonies, they said, couldn't ignore
They say I'm guilty, but I know it's all a sham
'Cause I'm the one they target, that's their master plan

It's all rigged, yeah, the system ain't fair
They set me up, now I'm stuck in this nightmare
Guilty by twelve peers, but they don't know me
I'm the one they fear, can't you see?

They say I did the crime, but I ain't that kind
Just a victim of the times, caught up in their grind
I'm standing tall, even though they think I'm weak
Orange as a sunset, but my future's looking bleak

It's all rigged, yeah, the system ain't fair
They set me up, now I'm stuck in this nightmare
Guilty by twelve peers, but they don't know me
I'm the one they fear, can't you see?

I'll keep fighting, yeah, but my knees are shaking
Won't let them break me, though my spirit's aching
They may have won this round, but I ain't done yet
Orange as the day is long, but filled with regret

They think I'm scared, but they don't have a clue
Caught me in a diaper, but it ain't nothing new
Shitting my pants, they laugh, they cheer
Feeling so feeble, paralyzed by fear

Fell asleep in court, couldn't keep my eyes wide
They say it's all the truth, but I know it's all a lie
Weak and tired, they see my frail side
But deep down I fight, though my spirit's died

It's all rigged, yeah, the system ain't fair
They set me up, now I'm stuck in this nightmare
Guilty by twelve peers, but they don't know me
I'm the one they fear, can't you see?

So here's my story, of a fight that's just begun
34 felonies, but I won't be outdone
It was a legal expense, and I'm standing free
I'll prove to the world, they ain't seen the last of me
But deep down I know, I did the crime
Weak and frail, now I face the time
My spirit's broken, as I accept my fate
A feeble man, in the hands of the state
