A cuss of justice (2003)

  

woke up in a stupor and my knees weren't even bent

I broke up in a giggle, my jello so content

I'd wore down all my morals till  our soul was soundly spent

   But I couldn't no I wouldn't say please

I hushed up and said grace, gravy on my face

I bashed the party growers, a hardon for a mace

I did my part and meant it when I laid the jail to waste

   But fer the photo I did not say cheese

I yessired all the officers and pleaded my case

I drew upon old charm pool, Gibraltar, and my base

I told you when we handcuffed I was hardly chaste

   But for the show you were good to go

I splintered up my hangnails, made a picture frame

Glued back my eyelashes, sheltered all the blame

I spoke a long lost fabric and feigned a rabid shame

   But I vote not to let my leaves all blow

I felt a lowly vermin and justified the trap

Chewed off my best credit, tourniqueted my SAP

I jettisoned the headache and did a victory lap

   But I couldn't purge the file

I dwelled in abject entropy, sponsor keeping dibs

Counted out my morsels as they took my tidbits in

I brung my story to the cave and hollered Drinker's Lib

   Then took notice of a big hairy trial

I downplayed all the romance, good times gone as god

I ronnyraygunned memories, said listen to da flood

I swore they were my floatie, my duckie, and my blood

   But I didn't mean to mean what they need

They shot me to a forum, put me on a chair

They voted all the dunces inferior at our fair

They falsified my vapidness, called me on the dare

   And i spread out all my plumage like a bird

They voted me a heathen a king and a fake

I abstained all over the tally, a consumate rake

All all agreed on one thing and that's thou auto forsake,

   But the object of our scorn was divided

I plead the cuss O justice, O freedom and the dunce

Cuss if yer not all of them, Just one you will be once

The game so tidy neat, my football needs no punts

    But ya love the drama runback that's provided
