Make the punishment fit the crime
usual suspects, rounded up
One of them a shrinking violet
Pass the buck became silent
The inspector looked the eyes
Who should be blamed for the crimes?
Parents, teachers, friends or none
society, the fertile ground?
Addressing the shrinking violet
Asked inspector with a cry
Why the hell have you done
such a crime with a gun?
He was silent like a dumb
Marching quite a different drum
He did not like to say
anything about what he's done
He looked shyly at his friends
Maybe someone gives him help
Everyone was without a word
They were all in blind alley
Waiting the sentence to be carried
