A parody of 'Here's to the Losers.' It laments the problems with the justice system and the media.
Story behind the song
Inspired by a recent court decision.

Here’s to the Losers (Justice System Version)
A Parody of “Here’s to the Losers”
New Lyrics by Steve Bryant
Here’s to those who try the cases, no not wisely, but too well.
To those who have a special place when they wind up in Hell.
To the lawyers who take guilty folks and help them all go free.
Here’s to the losers, you and me.
Here’s to those who defend clients even when they’re down and out.
To the ones who don’t prove innocence but find reasonable doubt.
To the lonely prosecutors watching guilty men go free.
Here’s to the losers, you and me.
Hey OJ Simpson, and Robert Blake,
You both were not guilty, ‘cause they made a mistake.
Here’s to all the street reporters who can bend the news their way.
To all the TV news networks who know that crime does pay.
Here’s to all the legal analysts who need a referee.
Here’s to the losers, you and me.
The Anthony verdict doesn’t hold water.
They just couldn't prove that she killed her daughter.
If there’s any hope for fixing this, a chance of saving face.
It won’t lie with the media, Geraldo or Nancy Grace.
Maybe there could be some justice without publicity,
Here’s to the losers, here’s to the losers, here’s to the losers,
You and me.
