The Trial of the Century

The trial of the century
Justice ain't cheap
Great revelations
Read ’em and weep
An honest contender
Or the great pretender
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or merely a sheep

The trial of the century
But where was the crime
With so many lawyers
The truth’s hard to find
Was he excluded
Or simply deluded
Or merely a blind man
leading the blind?

The trial of the century
Ready to choke
You don’t need a hangman
When you’ve got enough rope
The trial of the century
So much at stake
The trial of the century
Give me a break

The trial of the century
Or just a big joke
An army of lawyers
Going for broke
A slick demonstration
A glib explanation
A masterful painting
of mirrors and smoke

The trial of the century
Ready to choke
You don’t need a hangman
When you’ve got enough rope
The trial of the century
So much at stake
The trial of the century
Give me a break

The trial of the century
The cat’s out the bag
Today’s explanation
Tomorrow’s old rag
A team of magicians
Riding the wave
The song sounds familiar
They’re robbing the grave

The trial of the century
Ready to choke
You don’t need a hangman
When you’ve got enough rope
The trial of the century
So much at stake
The trial of the century
Give me a break

You don’t need a hangman
When you’ve got enough rope
The trial of the century
So much at stake
The trial of the century
Give me a break
