Foram-se os bandos dos chacais
Chegou a vez dos tribunais
Vão reunir o bom e o mau ladrão
Para votar sobre um caixão
Quando o inocente se abateu
Inda o morto não morreu
Quando o inocente se abateu
Inda o morto não morreu
A decisão do tribunal
É como a sombra do punhal
Vamos matar o justo que ali jaz
Para quem julga tanto faz
Já que o punhal não mata bem
A lei matemos também
Já que o punhal não mata bem
A lei matemos também
Soa o clarim soa o tambor
O morto já não sente a dor
Quando o deserto nada tem a dar
Vêm as águias almoçar
O tribunal dá de comer
Venham assassinos ver
O tribunal dá de comer
Venham assassinos ver
Se o criminoso se escondeu
Nada de novo acoteceu
A recompensa ao punho que matou
Uma fortuna a quem roubou
Guarda o teu roubo guarda-o bem
Dentro de um papel a lei
