Mobster Republic

It's inconvenient to follow rules
when getting ahead is all that you want
and not a feeling of guilt which will haunt
like it does to morality fools
who aren't really trying if they don't cheat
or use a loophole like the lawyers do
keeping rights for just them and not for you
by twisting a law into a deceit
well covered by amendment number five
when they know that telling the truth will hurt
if perjury and proof might contravert
your testimony as more gangster jive...
and we can't have that when there's crime to do
under the aegis of red, white, and blue.
