The Judge's voice is echoed in my mind,
I count the days til I'm behind.
Can't tell the jury all my crimes,
I was stealing cars in my prime.

The witness is such a grass,
'Cause I slapped his wife on the ass.
She told the cops that I'm a perv,
Jail time is what I serve.

That's what I went to court for,
Even though it is against the law,
I stole from a liquor store,
Now I'm jailed for a year or four.
That's what I went to court for,
This prison cell's a real bore,
You won't bail me out for sure,
All I do is clean the floor,
That's what I went to court for,
That's what I went to court for!

So the year is two thousand and ten,
I'm starting to go round the bend,
My cell mate never shuts up or agrees,
That Jack the Ripper's in my family.
I see the ward outside my gate,
I got a gun and shot my cell mate!

That's what I went to court for,
Even though I would of loved to leave,
I'm all alone and grieve,
But being locked up kinda makes me peeved!
That's what I went to court for,
Even though I always lose my cool,
I can't follow life rules,
Now I'm behind bars like a fool,
That's what I went to court for,
That's what I went to court for!

Everyone that you charge knows your grassing on me in a horrible way,
Just cause, oh, why, did heroin make me so high.
I can see pink elephants fly, telling me that they're on my mind,
I could see my life in court, there's loads of reasons of what I went to court for.
There's more, what I went to court for.

I pack my bags and plan a route,
'Cause my mates help me out thanks to their loot.
They'll never catch me again,
'Cause I'll change my ID to Mexican!

That's what I broke out of court for,
Even though I broke the law,
Prison life is such a bore,
That's why I must settle the score,
That's what I broke out of court for,
Stealing cash and committing fraud,
Is my life, I'm hardcore,
But people say my head is sore.
That's what I went to court for,
That's what I went to court for!
