[00:00.00] 作曲 : Don McLean
[00:02.82]Ah, it ain't so easy is it? You almost lost your place.
[00:08.13]And perhaps you're wondering how you're going to cope with your disgrace.
[00:13.83]Well your wealth is well established and your friends were never few,
[00:18.18]And all the things they told you of you're finding to be true.
[00:25.41]Well if truth can free the guilty while the innocent must die,
[00:30.30]Then I respect, respect, respect the coldest lie.
[00:38.28]And you talk of human justice while you drive on fancy wheels.
[00:43.95]And you push them to their limit just to see how nice it feels.
[00:49.23]Well it doesn't really matter if she's living or she's dead,
[00:53.13]You just drive away forgetting that your bumper's dipped in red.
[01:00.63]Well if that's the kind of justice that our hall of justice claims,
[01:05.49]Then I respect, respect, respect old Jesse James.
[01:13.44]And most cordially they caught you and they asked you to obey.
[01:18.66]And they threw you into prison, just in case you could not pay.
[01:24.24]Well King Arthur jousted Lancelot, who stole away his wife;
[01:28.47]And your lawyers jousted with the court to save your precious life.
[01:35.70]Well if living is what matters though you lie with every breath,
[01:40.59]Then I respect, respect, the ones we put to death.
[01:48.57]And you won your case most easily and soon you will be free.
[01:53.97]But there will be a million more who lose their liberty.
[01:59.43]Not because of what they did, but what they did not do:
[02:04.65]They did not pay a lawyer or a judge to see them through.
[02:11.88]Why, they had no friends to call on and they could not raise their bail.
[02:17.25]Well if winning is what matters, I respect the ones who fail
