[Verse I]
Asked myself not to Judge
Yet the way I feel my heart beats with fury
The onus probandi is upon me
Here you come puppy eyed nudge, can’t look away I feel
All that I am determined by the jury
Vis major ignoranti unbecoming of thee
[Chorus I]
Fathers & Mothers we were friends before lovers
& vowed the courts weren’t allowed to treat us as others
Yet my duty & privilege under scrutiny
I asked to shield you making me guilty
[Verse II]
You wanted a public display of investigation
Where my soul was taken
By your vi et arms
Where as my position to petition legislation
Pride could be mistaken
Letting the omnibus (charms:charmed:charm)
[Chorus II]
Fathers & Mothers we were friends before lovers
& vowed the courts weren’t allowed to treat us as others
Yet my duty & privilege under scrutiny
I asked to shield you making me guilty
[Verse III]
You stand before any other man
Where I have imprisoned myself never to reveal
No acquiescence of my adolescence
It was knowledge un-forgiven so purely surreal
[Chorus III]
Fathers & Mothers we were friends before lovers
& vowed the courts weren’t allowed to treat us as others
Yet my duty & privilege under scrutiny
I asked to shield you making me guilty
