High Crimes & Misdemeanors Lyrics - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung 

Lead vocals by dennis deyoung 

They want you to believe 

The unbelievable 

They say you should accept 

The unacceptable 

Forget your common sense 

It isn't sensible 

Good times for fools and dreamers 

Watch 'em all deny 

The undeniable 

See how they refute 

The unrefutable 

They're ready to defend 

The indefensible 

High times for lawyer schemers 

They say we must forgive 

The forgivable 

They want us to respect 

The unrespectable 

The pious and the hip 

So hypocritical 

High crimes and misdemeanors 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

See how they explain 

The inexplicable 

Watch 'em debate 

The undebatable 

Apparently a lie 

Is never liable 

Prime time for talk show screamers 

They say we constitute 

The constitutional 

With justice here for all 

So justifiable 

I'm tryin' not to laugh 

But man it's laughable 

High crimes and misdemeanors 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

And so 

Today we find 

They've changed their minds 

They've switched their points of view 

Oh what tangled webs they weave 

When their beliefs ain't really 

What they believe 

They're trying to divide 

The indivisible 

Because they think we're fools 

So foolable 

I'm tryin' not to laugh 

But man it's laughable 

Boom times for wall street dreamers 

They want you to believe 

The unbelievable 

They say we should accept 

The unacceptable 

The pious and the hip 

So hypocritical 

High crimes and misdemeanors 

High crimes and misdemeanors 

High crimes and misdemeanors 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop 

Hip
