Platemaker

lyrics

Now the judge gave you five to ten
Now they’re sending you back to the pen
for the process to start all over
again

With a system so complex
it’s like have no purpose
until they place you under
arrest

Life without dues, platemaker
Life without rules, platemaker
Pay your dues, platemaker
Watch the rules, platemaker

Larceny in the first degree
Watch them bargain now for your plea
With your fate in hand they both
agree

All the way it's been dime and fin
but you're paying now for your sins
'til your candle burns
so dim

Life without dues, platemaker
Life without rules, platemaker
Gotta pay your dues, platemaker
Better watch those rules, platemaker

Could be a case for the feds,
using every word you said
with a riot stick aside
your head

No more life’s simple pleasures
How you once spent your leisure
All the moments you once
treasured
