歌手名 Don McLean
作曲:Don McLean
Ah it ain't so easy is it you almost lost your place
And perhaps you're wondering
How you're going to cope with your disgrace
Well your wealth is well established
And your friends were never few
And all the things they told you
of you're finding to be true
Well if truth can free the guilty
while the innocent must die
Then I respect respect respect the coldest lie
And you talk of human justice
while you drive on fancy wheels
And you push them to their limit
just to see how nice it feels
Well it doesn't really matter
if she's living or she's dead
You just drive away forgetting
That your bumper's dipped in red
Well if that's the kind of justice
that our hall of justice claims
Then I respect respect respect old Jesse James
And most cordially they caught you
and they asked you to obey
And they threw you into prison
just in case you could not pay
Well king Arthur jousted Lancelot
who stole away his wife
And your lawyers jousted with the court
to save your precious life
Well if living is what matters
though you lie with every breath
Then I respect respect the ones we put to death
And you won your case most easily
and soon you will be free
But there will be a million more
who lose their liberty
Not because of what they did
but what they did not do
They did not pay a lawyer
or a judge to see them through
Why they had no friends to call on
And they could not raise their bail
Well if winning is what matters
I respect the ones who fail
