Didn't he know it was a waste of time?

All stitched up by a thin blue line

(Repeats)

Well the facts said 'yes'

But the judge said 'no'

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

He didn't understand

And he told them so

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

Don't pass go

There ain't no justice, just us (Repeats)

Didn't he know it was a waste of time?

All stitched up by a thin blue line

A little self-protection

They don't want to know

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

And he won't say sorry

Play the old Jim Crow

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

Don't pass go

Didn't he know it was a waste of time?

All stitched up by a thin blue line

White paranoia

It runs the show

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

You want table manners

You get rule of law

Go straight to jail

And don't pass go

Don't pass go

Didn't he know it was a waste of time?

All stitched up by a thin blue line

(Repeats)

Don't pass go

(Repeats)

There ain't no justice, just us
