When I'm not writing songs I'm in law school, and one of my peers asked me to write a song about it. I might have gotten carried away by Dark Chords, because my opinion of law school isn't actually as cynical as this song suggests (maybe I should write a more positive song to counteract it, in the spirit of the adversarial process). But when I'm in a certain mood...
lyrics
That really is a nice tie
The attorneys are wearing the same
I'm glad you cut your hair, but
You'll have to excuse me - I've forgotten your name
Yes I know the rules
Of rights and relevancy
They're words we use so well
We can forget what they mean
Don't speak your mind
Till your mind is property
We'll stand for what's right
If you pay our righteous fee
You've struggled oh so well
You're the best you can be
You're bound to get your due
Of immense mediocrity
So don't speak your mind
Till your mind works properly
Number their flaws
Till we fear democracy
And don't speak your mind
Till you hear my plea
If hope is your charge
I will lead the guilty
