The Layoffs - Conviction Blues Lyrics

In a high-rise court in Manhattan town
A former president, now he's feeling down
Thirty-four counts, the verdict's come through
Guilty on all, it's the conviction blues
It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down
Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown
The jury spoke, and the truth was found
In the court of law, justice came around
Eleven checks they say, disguised as legal dues
Payments to silence whispers, now he's got the news
Intent to defraud, to conceal another crime
Elevates the charges, now he's out of time
It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down
Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown
The jury spoke, and the truth was found
In the court of law, justice came around
From campaign days of old, to the courtroom's cold embrace
A scheme to keep things quiet, now laid out in this place
Conviction on all counts, the jury made it clear
The former president's fate, now sealed in here
Prosecutors laid it bare, the facts for all to see
Violations of the law, hidden deceptively
Each count a separate tale, of a record falsified
Now they seek the truth, where justice must preside
It's the conviction blues, the gavel's come down
Hush money, false records, now he's wearing a frown
The jury spoke, and the truth was found
In the court of law, justice came around
So we see the verdict, as the gavel's set to fall
History has been written, with justice after all
The conviction blues echoes through the hall
In the hush money trial, we saw justice, standing tall
