Citizen's arrest.
You have been cited
For failure to yield
Illegal u-turns
And resisting arrest
You have been charged
With being distant and aloof
Cheating and lying
And breaking hearts
You have been cited
For lack of a valid I.D.
Lack of insurance
And missing registration
You have been charged
With lying to me
Running up my credit cards
And getting my best friend pregnant
You have been cited
For ignoring a stop sign
Rear-ending another driver
And going 70 in a 30 mph zone
You have been charged
With not stopping when I said "no"
Sleeping with your ex-girlfriend
And taking my favorite CDs
When you finally left.
Fine: $5000
Please pay the King County court clerk.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
