Lyrics

I am a defender of the innocent
And I will try my hardest to set them free
Now I say, say there do you recognize this man?
Can't you see that he's been wrongfully condemned?
Will you take mercy and send him on back home?
Or will you send him to a lock away to rot there all alone?
So pick up the gavel and lay it down
Show me the rulings your peers have found
Show me the justice, show me the light
Listen to your minds and listen to your hearts
Can't see that his life's torn apart?
Just think it through, that's all I ask
Now they can't take your rights away
And they make the rules you have to obey
So please behave and don't step out of line
It's this image here that keeps you from doing time
And I know it seems repetitious all the same
But it's not just who's right, but how you play the game
So pick up the gavel and lay it down
Show me the rulings your peers have found
Show me the justice, show me the light
Listen to your minds and listen to your hearts
Can't see that his life's torn apart?
Just think it through, that's all I ask
I am a defender of the innocent
And I shall keep my promise to set them free
Can't you see the evidence will never lie?
Instead of guns, we are armed with shirts and ties
So if you know the truth, just let a hand
And march into the courtroom and take the witness stand
So pick up the gavel and lay it down
Show me the rulings your peers have found
Show me the justice, show me the light
Listen to your minds and listen to your hearts
Can't see that his life's torn apart?
Just think it through, that's all I ask
