Mandatory Pro Bono Lyrics

If you ever take a case for free
You know you work in misery
The clients dominate your time
Knowing that they don’t pay one thin dime
Mandatory pro bono...lawyers all say, "Oh no!"
That's one place we won't go
Because the fee is way too low
That easy divorce that you take
You know it is a big mistake
Work fifty hours on the file
Then client decide to reconcile
Mandatory pro bono...lawyers all say, "Oh no!"
That's one place we won't go
Until Supreme Court tell me no
When representing someone for free
Always it's emergency

Eviction or repo car...crisis is the way things are
Mandatory pro bono...lawyers all say, "Oh no!"
Clients pull to and fro
Saying that you work too slow
While you fight with landlords, cops and banks
Clients they never tell you thanks
If you make just one little boo boo
Clients want to sue you too
Mandatory pro bono...lawyers all say, "Oh no!"
I tell them let me be, 'til everybody work for free
Mandatory pro bono
