LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”
I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance
Celebratory dance
Scales balance
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE
Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.
From the album Gay Church
