Dirt Poor Robins - Irony lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Irony lyrics]
You gave your story we heard your side
There was a plea of innocence and alibi
Stating that justice should favor you
Due to the list of wicked things
You witnessed other people do
It’s on your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same it's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see the irony?
Did you know that debt that you have made
No perfect thing you do could e’er repay?
For Justice knows the balance and
Your case cannot be won
By pressing down the scales
With your own thumb
For one word you spoke has
Done a hundred harms
One phrase you turned has
Left a thousand scars
There's only one of you to damage
Yet the world has millions more
Drowning in the fount of pain you've poured
It’s on your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit you took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see the irony?
This pride has left you
Blinded or willfully confused
You thought that when you cried for justice
The target wasn't you
Yet in the end your fatal flaw
The measurements were wrong
For you saw the sins of others
As greater than your own
On your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit it comes to pass
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
There was a plea of innocence and alibi
Stating that justice should favor you
Due to the list of wicked things
You witnessed other people do
It’s on your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same it's on your merit
You took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see the irony?
Did you know that debt that you have made
No perfect thing you do could e’er repay?
For Justice knows the balance and
Your case cannot be won
By pressing down the scales
With your own thumb
For one word you spoke has
Done a hundred harms
One phrase you turned has
Left a thousand scars
There's only one of you to damage
Yet the world has millions more
Drowning in the fount of pain you've poured
It’s on your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit you took the stand
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
But will you see the irony?
This pride has left you
Blinded or willfully confused
You thought that when you cried for justice
The target wasn't you
Yet in the end your fatal flaw
The measurements were wrong
For you saw the sins of others
As greater than your own
On your merit you made your claim
And as you've done to others you'd have us
Do to you the same
It's on your merit it comes to pass
And if you really want it your way
We'll give you what you ask
