Lyrics
Scooter Justice
Ya got a ton of legal eagles
Workin' for your side
You got friends in high places
Raising money to save your hide
So you go before a jury
And a judge, and plead your case
But they say that you are guilty
30 months, 250K
So you scream about injustice
Get your friends to write op-eds
Have their media compatriots
On all the talking heads
Make yourself out as a victim
Just forgetful don’t ya know
“no underlying crime” they keep on saying
on every Fox News show
(Chorus)
So the President protects you
And shields you from your fate
Just keep your mouth shut through ‘08
And a pardon will await
And for those pesky legal fees
There's no need to fret
'cause if “Scooter Justice” is applied
Your friends cover your debt
Four felonies the jury said
Was what the evidence showed
The judge was a Republican
The sentence middle-of-the-road
Compared to other felons
Who committed the same crimes
An’ the appeals court saw no reason
You shouldn’t start serving time
(Chorus)
So the President protects you
And shields you from your fate
Just keep your mouth shut through ‘08
And a pardon will await
And for those pesky legal fees
There's no need to fret
'cause if “Scooter Justice” is applied
Your friends cover your debt
(Bridge)
If "average Joe" were to shred
The records that might well have led
To jail time on his boss’s head
It would seem a waste of time
To claim “No underlying crime”
(Instrumental verse)
(Chorus)
But the President protects you
And shields you from your fate
Just keep your mouth shut through ‘08
And a pardon will await
And for those pesky legal fees
There's no need to fret
'cause if “Scooter Justice” is applied
Your friends cover your debt
