Ignoratia Juris Non Excusat

There is an unwritten law that people should observe, one that gives no rewards for immoral behavior but rather punishes with public exposure and assures disgrace. We put people in prison for miscellaneous crimes that are often as trivial as stealing a package of biscuits yet families are disrupted by infidelities that are not punishable by law.

 

Ignoratia Juris Non Excusat

 

I didn’t know officer to give away

Got no signs of Zebras running, where are they?

Nor did she know of the traffic lights

Out of the city she’d only driven before, adoring the sites

Radio too loud officer, is that against the law

A passenger told him turn it down but he never knew the flaw

This is the first time I got some cannabis

I didn’t know you had a restriction for using this

After I built on the extension they knock it down

Just brought a bulldozer and flatten it to the ground

Unlawful erection of extended property

Regardless to it being a school I need to consult the authority

I don’t understand why I can’t park the car here

So far to have to walk and lug my ware

Nothing on the street tells me that I cannot

Ought to be a sign close to where people park, or right on the spot

Nudity in my own patio can’t be a crime

Except they arrested me on a charge and now I’m doing time

‘Xcuse me judge I said, it was in the privacy of my own place

Can’t do it he said, not when the patio is to the street in everyone’s face

Usually we hung out at the bar after his game

Sometimes he asked for other girls to come too to do the same

And because we knew he was married we left with him discretely

Tiger has no right scandalizing our names and we deserve his apology
