When the Gavel Crushes Down Lyrics


Gather now my fellow cons

Plead no guilt, post your bonds

Chastised our first offense

Getting rich at our expense

Losses to their dire cause

Suffer to distorted laws

Populations doing time

When punishments don't fit the crime

Carry me home...

Inane, to think they'll have us tamed

Abide and take the blame

I'll stand accused with millions for a bounty on you

And you'll be carried by six

(your casket lined)

Before I'm judged by twelve

(with hundred-dollar bills)

Before the gavel crashes down

Vengeance and wrath will be felt

Transgression, slight to no degree

Such great atrocities

The curtains drawn

To hide the felonies they call

Crimes without a victim

Set before the Judge's dictum

Simple possession

Behind bars you'll learn your lesson

Carry me home...

Inane, to think they'll have me tamed

A work of the insane? This can't be

The Devil, takes orders from me

And you'll be carried by six

(your casket lined)

Before I'm judged by twelve

(with hundred-dollar bills)

Before the gavel crashes down

Vengeance and wrath will be felt

I'll be carried by six

Before I'm judged by twelve

Before the gavel crashes down

I'll flee and meet you in hell
