Busted

Busted

I heard this man who's singing songs
with a look upon his face.
I guess he's just been worried some
that he will lose his place.

Still other men were writing books
as farmers plowed a furrow.
I thought it was the end of them,
the FBI is thorough.

He went to court with charges stacked
bail in multiples of zero.
Him sitting there steadfast and strong,
you know he was my hero.

The politicians run the show
you know what really reeks?
All those people and no one cares
or rarely ever speaks.
