Lyrics
Verse 1:
I know what I heard
And I know what I've seen
You wear a white hat
But you're dirty and mean
Your rip and you tear
With your tooth and your claw
Sittin' there on your throne
High above the law.
Verse 2:
You slander my name
While you're stabbin' my back
You hit and you run
Then you cover your tracks
You use a shotgun
Cause you ain't no quickdraw
You just got to guarantee
That you're above the law
Chorus:
Above the law the air is sweeter
Above the law, for a prosperin' cheater
I hate to admit it, but it sticks in my craw
That you figured out how, to be above the law.
Verse 3:
Now you talk about justice
And you talk about rights
But when you're caught in the act
Then your rabid dog bites.
And buries the truth
With a swipe of her paw
So no one will know
That you're above the law
So You feed everyone
With your lies about me
And they gobble that fruit
From your poisonous tree
You can dance on my grave
While the black ravens caw
My ghost will whisper the truth
That you're above the law
(Chorus)
