Didn't he know it was a waste of time?
   All stitched up by a thin blue line
   (Repeats)
   Well the facts said 'yes'
   But the judge said 'no'
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   He didn't understand
   And he told them so
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   Don't pass go
   There ain't no justice, just us (Repeats)
   Didn't he know it was a waste of time?
   All stitched up by a thin blue line
   A little self-protection
   They don't want to know
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   And he won't say sorry
   Play the old Jim Crow
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   Don't pass go
   Didn't he know it was a waste of time?
   All stitched up by a thin blue line
   White paranoia
   It runs the show
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   You want table manners
   You get rule of law
   Go straight to jail
   And don't pass go
   Don't pass go
   Didn't he know it was a waste of time?
   All stitched up by a thin blue line
   (Repeats)
   Don't pass go
   (Repeats)
   There ain't no justice, just us
