When first we joined the legal world
So many years ago
We learned pretty quickly
About the ebb and flow
How sometimes life is busy
With deadlines every day
While other days drag slowly
And we may as well just play
How sometimes juries love us
And believe our client’s right
But sometimes they just don’t get it
And let the bad guys off too light.
And we learned that gleaming smiles
Can sometimes turn to frowns
Because the law profession
Is filled with ups and downs
When first they joined the legal world
So many years ago
Some lawyers took up legal arms
In the hopes they’d make good doe
They never really expected
That the dollars that they’d make
Would rise and fall like emotions
As the Dow Jones shakes and bakes…
But now the world is wiser
And know stock markets can’t be trusted
So lawyers just focus on the law
And the Trusts that should be busted
We fight for truth and justice
Without regard to fees
And fight just for the good feeling
Gained from knocking bad guys on their knees
For no longer does it matter
If the other side can pay
No longer does it matter
What financial statements say
Because if we were to triumph
In a green cash kind of way
We’d have no guarantee
That the funds would last the day.
Yes, today the legal practice
Has been knocked back on track
Cuz whether you love or hate it
And whether you cry or celebrate it
Practicing just for the love of law
Is absolutely back.
