What?
Joke? What Joke?
It is just my civil liberties I am trying to invoke
Why should I beg for what I already own?
Hey wait a minute!
Why do you care what speed limit I broke?
This isn't even your zone!
Stop trying to piggyback
Off of some other guy's work
And I won't call you a hack
And practically go berzerk
Besides, I was only going 55
I saw you swerve off the road
And you're telling me how to drive
First get "your" story straight
Then I'll pay the fee
And we can both go home with some pride!
