how long can a crook run?

How long can a person run?

With the heavy loads in his head?

He has to stop for breath

Take in the jabs breathing hard

The court wants to grant favors

Let the man run ahead

But how long can he run?

The law will appear catch him in his hands

Then the men in blue will direct traffic

Diverting the drivers to a different lane

All the while the heavy loads on their heads

There will come a time to say it is enough

How long can a crook run?

Every corner or shadow he will be found

When the lights appear suddenly

The bad will sit and cry

For the angels of light arrive

Sweep the bad away for good

Let the light shine for progress and joy

Let the crooks stay in locks and chains
