Lyrics
Habeas Corpus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He'd been beat till there was nothing left,
Least the coroners report said,
The official cause of death
was a heart attack no less,
Habeas Corpus rest in piece,
The law that's meant to protect you is now just history.
Looks like its chicken coups and boiler suits and,
U.S troops who shine their boots on,
Cuban soil forevermore
whole world looks and then ignores,
Fuck proof, Fuck truth, Fuck me, Fuck you,
Now that you are both deceased
We hope that you can rest in piece
Now that the truths turned to deceit
And you were all we had between.
Habeas Corpus rest in piece,
The law that's meant to protect you is now just history.
Habeas Corpus rest in piece,
The law that's meant to protect you is now but history.
