The Trial
Lyricist:Phil Ochs
Outside the cats are scratching Inside the doors are latching On the room, the greedy gloom The trial is revealed
Police are six feet deep With switchblades in their teeth So no one leaves and they all believe This is absolutely real Yes, it's real
And the sergeant says, 'Are you ready, boys? Get ready, boys Aim and fire'
Order in the court People ready for the sport They squirm and squeak and lick their beaks And grease their feathers down
Everybody rise Judge is here with bathroom eyes A grizzly bear, he hugs his chair Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the greedy gavel pounds Yes, it pounds
And the sergeant says, 'Are you ready, boys? Get ready, boys Aim and fire'
In the dungeon [unverified]falls Writing appeals upon the wall And the priest in prayers is not even there
So precious is his time To the stake he's tied The swallows sing the triggers slide
He bids goodbye to the wattery sky That plunges from his mind From his mind
And the sergeant says, 'Are you ready, boys? Get ready, boys Aim and fire'
