Twenty Minutes of Action

from Selling the Urban Ideal by Abertooth Lincoln

/

lyrics

You gave him six months and a handshake
It's clear who you worked to protect
While this privileged shit didn't even fake an ounce of remorse or a sign of regret
If the system's rigged I want to know
Are you the engineer or the architect?

When you heard the words "the damage has been done"
You didn't contemplate what that damage was
Why were you the only one?

Like a dive bar run by a good ol' boys club
Using the deplorable excuse that your boy just had too much to drink
We can argue all day
But it's clear to me the plaintiffs aren't the one that your courtroom's protecting

When you heard the words "the damage has been done"
You didn't contemplate what that damage was
And what a line like "twenty minutes of action" says
Action is the name you gave a crime without a consequence

Nothing I can say changes these things
Nothing you can do serves to absolve you

I will limit my acceptance that the truth may be
Understood by different people to mean different things
Your credibility was lost when you made justice a Cardinal Rule
Fuck your school

Give up your gavel
And leave the courtroom

When you heard the words "the damage has been done"
You didn't contemplate what that damage was
And what a line like "twenty minutes of action" says
Action is the name you gave a crime without a consequence

Burn down your courtroom
