Plea Bargain

We've an elaborate system
And I'm neither legal or illegal
Right of a line is a certainty
Better or worse is absurdity

If statisticians words are a prophecy
Then pray for substance or energy
Prey on an ignorant elder
Pray for more than you eat in a day

Feel for a flagging economy?
I'm for a limit on either way
I'm at a loss for intolerance
So ponder your rumours and turn away

If statisticians words are a prophecy
Then pray for substance or energy
Prey on an ignorant elder
Pray for more than you eat in a day

Imminence is a measure of whether
We've gotten away with it
Starving shot at or ethnically cleansed
Or plainly irrelevant
