lyrics

During the panel’s discreet deliberation you
Pace outside in the snow, feeling weak-kneed
You’re face to face with a long-ass hibernation as
Your career is 30 minutes from the deep freeze

The chairman spoke, he said “son you can still practice, you’re
Not exactly disbarred, nor arrested”
The evidence had been weak, but bad for business and
Under duress you caved in and confessed it

And what concerns you most about your so-called capers?
Dad’s stern voice, or mom’s face on the morning that it
Hits the papers?

It’s just an allegation! Like “she allegedly
kicks cats”, and “he allegedly doubts God”
And you apparently are up shit creek now that
You allegedly commit insurance fraud

Pack up, sign off, and collect your severance fee
Show your face back here, you won’t get past the goons
At security

Your friends still call and offer comforting phrases like
“Do you want to talk?” and “We believe you”
But behind your back you imagine them
Whispering and wonderin’ if it is true

Good luck shaking off your brand new reputation
For the rest of your days, it’s just you against
The Allegation.
