She lied to the judge
(mmmmm-mmm) You raised your hand,
you swore to tell the truth
Then told the judge lies about my youth Said I
couldn't bathe, couldn't cook,
couldn't cope But you never lived with me — you never saw
that hope You said "meds mismanaged" but you didn't know
Mammal took me every month,
14 years in a row
You got the gavel,
got the power, got the say And I lost my grandma on
January 8th that
day
I shouted in that courtroom but my words were air Case 12JO-PR000013
—
did anybody care?
She lied to the judge and got away with it Took my
home, took my choice,
took my every bit I called lawyers,
I called state, I called everyone I knew
They said "she's your guardian"
like that makes it true
No one will help me go against her crown She lied to
the judge and tore my whole world down But I'm still here
singing,
I'm still Kimmie And the truth don't die just 'cause nobody sees
me
"Best interest" on the paperwork
you filed But you put me where the staff gets wild Teen
boys overnight, cussing in my face You call this protection?
This ain't a safe place
I filed complaints, I begged,
I cried
DRM said "we can't," and my hope died Judge ruled June 16th
that I gotta stay While you sleep fine having stole my life
away
How many Kimmies does it take For someone to believe im not
a mistake?
How many lies on the record stand Before you take the gavel
from her hand? I'm not a file,
I'm not a fee I'm a 32-year-old human being
She lied to the judge and got away with it Took my
home, took my choice,
took my every bit I called lawyers,
I called state, I called everyone I knew
They said "she's your guardian"
like that makes it true
No one will help me go against her crown She lied to
the judge and tore my whole world down But I'm still here
singing,
I'm still Kimmie And the truth don't die just 'cause nobody sees
me
Put your lies in a song and watch 'em burn
Mammal Helen, I'm still gonna return One day the truth comes,
one day they'll see
She lied to the judge — but she can't lie to me
(she can't lie to me...)
