Lyrics The Greatest Own In Legal History - Stephen Malkmus

The Greatest Own In Legal History

I would like to represent you
Be a verbal musician
Be the one who defends you when the odds are stacked up high like rotten
dominoes
I’ll be there to vet the jury
Make sure there’s a couple of softies on our side
They’ll see their own kids in you
Their empathy will go a thousand miles wide
Your motive it’s unclear
The witness is a nearsighted engineer
It’s the greatest own in legal history
Our jailhouse discussions will be fraught with innuendo, mutual respect
Pretty soon you will be gushing to the other boys behind the bars of my affect
Let me take the lead
There’s nothing that you’ll need, you’ll see
It’s the greatest own in legal history
Cases many haunting me when I try to sleep and I can tell you I don’t sleep
that much
Faces of hegemony, if you really want to bum out I got spreadsheets on that
stuff
Juvie it is jammed
There’s someone here who gives a damn, it’s me
The greatest own in legal history
