Hello. I wrote a song called Habeas Corpus. Be proud of who you are. Don't ever let anyone tell you different.
Music, lyrics, and illustrations by me.
Lyrics:
They all come dressed
With their shirts neatly pressed
In their Sunday best
On a Monday morning
I'm called to rise
For a mob of angry eyes
To their surprise
I plead "not guilty"
Chorus:
'Cause if there's something wrong with
Loving what you believe,
I hold myself in contempt of court
Yeah, you're so quick to judge
But you're blind to see
A point of view much bigger than yours
Your best defense
Is badgering the witness
Let the prosecution rest
'Cause your argument's boring
Won't plead the fifth
Won't even beg for forgiveness
Let the case dismiss
While I hang this jury
(Chorus)
Habeas Corpus, no need to ignore this
Writ that gives me justice
I should be given a fair trial but I get a mock trial
While you talk such nonsense
I feel the need to abort this courtroom
Forced to bleed or plead insanity
I'm taking crazy pills
Losing faith in humanity
(Chorus)
'Cause if there's something wrong with
Loving what you believe
I hold myself in contempt of court
Yeah, you're so quick to judge
But you're blind to see
A point of view much bigger
The world is bigger than yours
