REHEARSAL'S OVER AND I MUST ADMIT
THAT I'M A BIT NERVOUS
§
I'M ON AFTER THE AD-BREAK
I'LL CLEAR MY VOICE THEN I'LL TAKE THE STAND
AND HOPE TO FILL THE CHEERING CROWD
WITH REASONABLE DOUBT
§
THE BRIGHT LIGHT BLINDS ME
AS I STEP CAREFULLY
IN FRONT OF THE COURTCURTAIN
§
THE SHOW STARTS AND I'M SENT TO DO
MY MONOLOGUE ON THE STAND INTO
THE CAMERAS OF COURT T.V. IN THE BALCONY
§
I KNOW MY LINES SO WELL
AND EVERY LITTLE THING I TELL IS TRUE
§
AN AUDIENCE OF MY PEERS
THEY'RE APPLAUDING AND THEY CHEER
AND THEY WANT TO HEAR
MORE OF THE TRUTH
AND NOTHING BUT MY TRUTH
JUST IN TIME FOR THE EIGHT O'CLOCK NEWS
§
I KNOW MY LINES SO WELL
AND EVERY LITTLE THING I TELL IS TRUE
§
IT'S OVER NOW IT'S SUCH A SHAME THOSE WERE
MY QUICK FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
BUT WE WILL HAVE MORE OF THE SAME
SO PLEASE STAY TUNED
DON'T GO AWAY BECAUSE THERE
WILL BE A SPECIAL LIVE REPORT
ON EXECUTION DAY
