Unreasonable Doubt

Every day I wake with so much weight on my shoulders Black and white just seems to fade to grey as I get older Knots in my stomach, life in my hands A monster before me claiming he's a man I could kill him myself, I could If I wasn't bound by the gown and the gavel, I would This scared little girl over there Somebody's daughter Everybody knows that he did it He's done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury's out Well beyond unreasonable doubt They're gonna say "She was asking for it - A skirt that short is an invitation" "After all he's just a man, and she led him to temptation" Now she's got knots in her stomach, face in her hands A shell of herself on her way to the stand If she could stop it right now she would But telling the truth don't do her no good She's already lost, she thinks Why even bother? Everybody knows that he did it He's done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury's out Well beyond unreasonable The law is the law Gotta bite my tongue Gotta watch him walk I said the law is the law But she's somebody's daughter She's somebody's daughter The girl is somebody's daughter And he Everybody knows that he did it He's done everything but all out admit it And I hear her cry But my hands are tied The jury's out Well beyond unreasonable doubt
