Verdict Unsafe (Rewrite)

Matt Burbidge:

Come on at me, let’s have it,

You stupid, sick slag

You can buy your promotion,

If you roll on your back

You may have all else fooled,

As Miss Cool, As Miss Calm,

But we both know the truth,

You’re a bitch, with no heart

Oh, Judy, I hate you, though mean you no harm,

It’s my right to loathe you,

When in your arms breaks my heart

You can call me self serving,

To want you as mine

But like that girl some guy screwed,

You’re nothing

Pretty, you may be,

Yes, and smart you are too

But at the core you’re a woman,

So I think nothing of you

Away I’ve slaved since that day,

And lay the blame at your feet,

For being so stupid

You will pay with defeat

Oh, Judy, I loathe you,

I want to skin you alive

Right after I’m done screwing,

With what’s left of your life

 

I am someone who sees you,

For the slag that you are

You may have all else fooled,

You’re Miss Cool, You’re Miss Calm

Away I have slaved for the right,

To loathe you, cheap slut

I have starved for these rights,

As a good policeman should

Oh, Judy, I’ll hurt you if of my heart you let go,

You will weep out my name,

In your dreams I’m your ghost

 

So, Judy, the way I choose to loathe you,

Is with a fist into the face

You’re running scared along these pavements,

Don’t you dare run away

Banished from the Malworth police force,

You! I’m blaming you!

Can’t you see, you left me scarred?

Soon, Judy, they all will know my name,

And soon they all will know the truth

 

Judy, from whom you all rely on for integrity,

Is nothing but a bit of skirt

She’s throwing up upon these pavements,

She’s hardly worth a thing

 

Narrator:

Now, let’s take a break from this exchange,

And move onto a different scene

Judy, recognise her? Our hero,

Unmoved by Burbidge’s plea

He pleads it’s his right to feed fuel to the hate,

If Judy’s late to react, then it’s her final day,

Stay still on your feet, step away from the street,

Hold your heart close to your throat

Yes, kindhearted fools may fall for mistakes,

But it’s best to be kind,

To be fooled, than to fake,

Now, let’s take a break from this exchange

 

As Ginny’s walking from the park,

One fateful night

From behind her, he grabs her,

He smiles with delight

As she’s stood there frozen,

He tears off her clothes,

Penetration entangled with the screams;

“No! No! No!”

Drummond’s the man,

Judy had a target on her back,

But because he couldn’t have her,

He quickly diverted his plan

 

Judy:

It hurts to feel,

I should feel relief it wasn’t me

But I can’t bear to see,

Another girl suffer in replace of me

 

Narrator:

Judy’s shaken,

As through the phone is Drummond,

She hid from him once

But he keeps coming,

Back and back for more

The world on her spits her, hits her,

It rapes her, tries to mediate her,

Then just when they believe her, they kill her

As Judy lay low to battle her demon,

Little Ginny lay still upon her bathroom floor

Bruised and battered, the poor girl,

Could stand straight no longer,

She was their’s

With whom they could do as they pleased,

As away she runs,

She falls towards the floor on her knees,

From a distance,

She hears the sound of feet

They approached her with ease,

But you see, Ginny, was a harmless girl,

Seemingly bulletproof, she’d been through Hell,

And as this figure approached her,

She lay still with her head in her hands

The girl she just lay there -

Unbothered by the rules that Malworth sold her,

It’s such a shocker

Where men, they rule the streets,

And exploit her to the highest bidder

But don’t detonate yourself into the prospect of reality,

Just yet

As these men are here to hire you,

Screw it, Ginny, that’s your role

You’re facing karma

For being such a slut some men will find attractive,

She looked up to face her fate,

But instead, she found someone understanding

 

Judy Hill, she was a DI,

Who has since stood at five foot five,

She was someone determined to save this soul,

From messing up her life

“It’s okay,” said Judy, with her arms wrapped tight,

As the girl lay beside her was drenched,

Scared she was,

Held in her arms,

“You’re safe now, I’m here, you rest”
