AND THEN? AND THEN?

AND THEN? AND THEN?

By GDW 

They say they'd look into it

And so we waited...

And crossed our feet

That crook who was a politician

Those missing millions

Those laws broken

Those lives that sank

Those jaws broken

By cops who were smoking

That plane that came crashing

Those ladies who were raped

By what couldn't have been apes

Those ladies burnt

By villagers vigilante

Those aliens that take our bread

Those fugitives who bought citizenships

From crooked selfish Ministerships

They said they'd investigate

They set up an inquiry shop

Then they enquired

They tasked the force to sweep

Sweep em clean

Block a sewer leak

They commissioned the Ombudsman

To go get em

Put em in jail

So they went to get em

And we waited

For thieves to be caught

For money to be brought

Back from dirty hands

To restore cheaply sold lands

For that reckless shipman

To pay for dead family man

For those stoned murderers

Of suspected sorcerers

They said they'd catch them

That justice would be served

They'd put them in jail

But alas

The justice league it failed

Still we stand and watch

And cry time and again

To them we cry

“And then? And then?....”
