I have been listening to the Bone Valley podcast and it's making me so incredibly angry! It's about an innocent man's struggle to become free.

Old sparky on his neck tie
He doles out death to all
The wretched and the wicked
No evidence too small
Whatever it takes to convict them
Even if it’s outside the law
Aguero always gets his man
The truth don’t matter at all

And justice is a funny word
Like a bone improperly set          when the tone implies a threat             you wish you could forget              a one sided duet 
When you live inside the villain
Like a fish don’t know it’s wet

A father’s careless comment
A neighbor’s nosy eyes
The lawyer with his candy hands
Too lazy to realize
That Aguero’s on the warpath
Though he knows he’s got the wrong guy
That power’s intoxicating
To say who lives and dies

Here comes the disciple
She keeps the pressure on
She kicks a broken man when he’s down
Just To get what the wants
The truth is singing sad and clear
But she won’t hear the song
The truth is just a caged canary 
To Victoria Avalon

And finally the teacher
So confident without
A single clue on the man who’s
Life he’s talking about  
He gets all the facts wrong
But that won’t slow him down
Facts don’t matter to Jerry Hill 
He’s a sad retired clown
