[Verse 1]
Oh yeah, the world's turned upside down
Jimmy Finn is out
Well how can that be fair at all
[Chorus 1]
Lenient
The song the lawyer sang
Our nation's wrong
[Verse 2]
Well how can that be fair at all
Repented, changed
Aware where I have wronged
[Chorus 2]
Unfound corrupt
This song the jailor sings
My time has run
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 3]
Sound the victim's song
The trial is gone
The trial goes on
[Outro]
Sound the victim's song
