Will Butler
Public Defender
[Verse 1]
He’s a redneck
He’s a black kid
He’s a patient at the V.A
Plead him guilty
Saves us all some time
Cup of coffee in the morning
Streets are empty
Jails are filling
Judges waiting
Hayay
[Chorus]
I said nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
I say nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
So let me start alone
[Verse 2]
Get him six years
And it’s broken
Get him two years
And it’s broken
Get him out and
It’s still broken
Just a little less
[Chorus]
I said nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
I say nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
Not alone
With a voice so harsh and cold
With no sense of where to run
But the music’s gone
And I’m all alone
And the judge is wrong
And the music’s cold
[Outro]
I’m not saying I know the truth
I’m just saying the music’s wrong
Close the shutters and kill the song
Listen. Listen
