Tell The Judge I Said Hi
Liner notes
This was written in the car and played at open mic before I had really worked out a tune. It's about an ex-boss who, at the time of writing, still owes me $20,000.In the name of all that's holy
Why was that a thing you'd do?
Out of all the dreams you sold me
None of them came true
All the signals that I missed
The claims you'd make, the words you'd twist
Now everything that's overdue is catching up with you
I was unwise to listen to your lies
But I hold my head up high
Bye, bye, bye -- tell the judge I said hi.
You set me up to fail
You marked the cards and rigged the deal
Except my trust and your betrayal
None of it was real
All the red flags I ignored
The stupid stories, theft and fraud
But now the debts that you've accrued are catching up with you
I was unwise to listen to your lies
But I hold my head up high
Bye, bye, bye -- tell the judge I said hi.
You disappeared, no word of warning
Resentment's all you left for me
You've come crawling back this morning
Asking me for empathy
You want my help? Ah, bless your soul
You can't drag me into your hole
Now all the mugs you tried to screw are catching up with you
I was unwise to listen to your lies
But I hold my head up high
Bye, bye, bye -- tell the judge I said hi.
