The Perjury Trap
(aka Forced to Lie – to Conceal the Truth)
Plead the fifth!
Ignore the subpoena
We don’t need to testify
Redact the report
Misrepresent content
Obstruct with untruths, deny
Point the finger, distract
Obfuscate and slander
Just lie and lie and lie
Use legal devices
Be sure to delay
Hire lawyers for time to buy
Refuse to talk
There’s nothing to see
No reason at all to pry
Of course we’re clean
With nothing to hide
It’s just that we are shy
Executive privilege
Claim victory, case closed
They have had their try
Yet despite these exhortations
They seem unconvinced
We’re hurt and wonder why?
