My Daddy did his articles in 1954
When he began soliciting
The work stuck in his craw
Enforcing for the bourgeoisie
He very quickly saw
There's one law for the rich
And another one for the poor

Rebekah's friends and fortune
Defended her in court
The shredder lives in luxury
His millions have bought
But Doreen Lawrence
had to wait for 18 years and more
There's one law for the rich
And another one for the poor

The mighty sword of Justice
Stands high above us all
All citizens stand equal
Before her mighty laws
But even mighty Justice
Has one almighty flaw
There's one law for the rich
And another one for the poor

Our leaders meet in secret
Behind a thick blue line
When cops protect the wealthy
The cost is yours and mine
They infiltrated Occupy
And crippled them with fines
There's one law for the 1%
And another for the ninety-nine

The mighty sword of Justice...
etc

Now Justice wears a coronet
But Justice is a whore
She puts out for rich gentlemen
Who love to pay her court
And kicks away the crutches
From beggars at her door
There's one law for the rich
And another one for the poor

The mighty sword of Justice...
etc

There's one law for the rich
And another one for the poor
