Today a criminal I've become. But my case you should review. For you see my friend, I'm sad to say, that you are now one too.

For each new day, more laws are made, by charlatans far away. Our numbers swell, as days pass by, with more good folk each day.

For we never paid attention, you see. After all, who had the time. So now we reap a harvest of fear, while lawyers decide our crime.

Once God made the laws to keep us safe, but they clarified them you see. For after all, they came from God, so how clear could they be?

"Thou shalt not bear false witness, less it serves a greater good. Thou shalt not kill, except in wombs, if one really thinks one should."

For it's legal now, to lie and steal, when it comes with a noble excuse. Even sex today, for children is okay, as long as a condom is used.

But mention not, the laws of God*, for there is no greater crime. For unlike murder, you'll pay a price, and suffer for some time.

So hide your thoughts in silence, best be careful with your wit. For if you anger these powers that be, they'll find some law to fit.

So how did all this come to pass, that evil rules our time? We enjoined deceivers to fix God's laws, and there, lay our greatest crime.
