Statement 8 - Three Cheers for Justice Lyrics

Dear friends, I must confess, I've made another awful mess
I know I'd promised to settle down a bit
But I can't sit and hold my peace
While figures of authority bully citizens and get away with it

So I get thrown against the wall for doing nothing much at all
Then I get cuffed and kicked into a cell

Then, two months later, comes a fine
So maybe I will change my mind and not file a complaint

How can I not be critical
When all the time political agendas serve to terrify the meek?
I guess it won't be long before some bigot redesigns the law
So daily armoured trucks patrol the streets
