Fighting City Hall
Do you fight "them" or do you leave?
They represent the people, eh?
They balance both sides, eh?
They are reasonable, eh?
Yeah, Right
Can't get it done
But you fight the fight
Don't want to run
But someday you might
Plead your case, it's common sense
Some of the panel come to your defense
But on whole they're close minded,
One-sided
Those who rule;
For the moment you're outta fuel
If there was a way
To sway the minds
Then it would be worth
The stay
If there was a way
To upset the cart
Then it would be worth
The stay, to jump into the fray
But the way it is,
What's the point?
Yet you gotta fight the fight
Cause you are vested
You can't let yourself be bested
Till you are unencumbered
The days are numbered
And maybe, just maybe
They'll see the light
And set things right
And hopefully you'll still care
Whether or not you are there
To finally have a judgment fair
