British Justice?

British Justice?

If I robbed a jewellery store

I’d get 20 years to life!

But I’d get rather less

If I murdered someone’s wife!

If I defrauded lots of cash

The police would be after me!

There are those who get away with it

They are called MPs!

What is British Justice?

Is it just at all?

Especially when the ‘common man’

Is the one to take the fall!

It seems, if you’re an MP

You get away with breaking laws;

You may even be promoted

And start earning millions more!

Where is British Justice

When a man’s shot down dead

By those employed to protect us?

Shooting bullets in his head!

Where is British Justice

When groups shout “Kill the Queen!”?

They never get arrested

You know who I mean!

What is British justice?

I really can not think,

It seems to favour criminals

And those who like pink

What is British justice?

Seems like life ain’t worth a jot

‘Cept if you steal money or jewels

Your body’s left to rot!

So much for British justice

Seems like it’s really bent!

And most of Britain’s criminals

Are in the Houses of Parlia-ment
