Will Butler - Public Defender lyrics

He’s a redneck he’s a black kid
He’s a patient at the VA plead him guilty
Saves us all some time

Cup of coffee in the morning
Streets are empty jails are filling
Judges waiting hayay

I said nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
I say nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
So let me start alone

Get him six years and it’s broken
Get him two years and it’s broken
Get him out and it’s still broken
Just a little less

I said nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time
I say nanananananananananna
Not this time, not this time not alone
With a voice so harsh and cold
With no sense of where to run
But the music’s gone and I’m all alone
And the judge is wrong and the music’s cold

I’m not saying I know the truth
I’m just saying the music’s wrong
Close the shutters and kill the song
Listen listen
