I marched myself into the court,
full of drive and purpose
My single most important
task, send his evidence to the circus
My cross-examination is precisely planned, setting up the trap
Into which he soon would
fall, 'cause his answers are just crap
I’d waded through his
interview, my size nines tied so tight
Not every answer was a lie, but
he’d need a clever fight
So many contradictions, my head is numbed with anticipation
Forget him for a moment,
just watch this annihilation
His evidence it will crumble,
his story I'll demolish
With questions of precision,
wordsmithing with extra polish
Don’t take me on you liar,
you’ll finish in second place
And your lies and bullshit
story, I’ll throw back in your face
So then, Mr. Liar Pants, you say you were deceived
By some bloke who told just you, that he wanted you to leave
Your little town on the
coast, ocean fishing with him braving
By the time that you leave
that witness box, it’s fishing you’ll be craving
You say he didn’t tell you
that you’d be moving these poor folk
Down to our southern isle,
gee you must have had a stroke
When truth it was revealed to
you, that you were one of the two
Who manned the boat, and
steered it south, both members of the crew
He got you drunk, that’s what
you say, is that still your pretence
Give me a break, is that the
best you’ve got, it’s a pretty poor defence
You said he’d pay three
million rupiah, for two days simple work
Look to your right, the
jury box, do you think they look like jerks
He flew you to Jakarta, a place for you to fish
Another two years wages gone,
that can’t have been his wish
Do you have some strange
ability, do you call and fish they come
Is that just why he wanted
you, are you fishing's number one
I think you’re telling
porkies, actually I’ll go one more than that
I think you are a liar, I’ll give
it to you flat
You came here two short years
ago, crewed other's to Australia
You thought you had your facts
all straight, but your story was a failure
Our Navy got you once again,
so you told them a false name
Said that you were someone
else, but they saw right through that game
Mandatory sentencing, it’s
five years inside for you
Dry your eyes princess, you
had options you could choose
It comes as no surprise to
me, that you did it for the money
You might reasonably have
expected, that your life would be sunny
Three million rupiah, that might
set you up for life
You’d never have to fish
again, buy a boat and get a wife
Clearly mate you did not
learn, when given your first caution
That if you come this way again, prison food you’d get a portion
We didn’t prosecute you last
time, but you tested our resolve
Five years jail should make
the point, our problem it is solved
