Here's my transcription. I hope someone can fill in the missing words.

HAUL 'EM ALL OFF TO JAIL
As sung by Magpie (Greg Artzner & Terry Leonino)

CHORUS: Haul 'em all off to jail. (Haul 'em all off to jail.)
Haul 'em all off to jail. (Haul 'em all off to jail.)
From the White House to the pen, they'll never lie to us again.
No bond, no bail. Haul 'em all off to jail.

1. For crimes against honesty, for crimes against the truth,
Don't need no investigator, don't need no special spook.
They lied and lied and lied to us. They lied us into war.
They keep on lying every day. No, we won't take no more.
How do we know they're lying? We can prove
They lie every time their lips move.

2. For crimes against justice, for crimes against the law,
A crime against one becomes a crime against us all.
They ignore the constitution in their fascist power game.
Habeas corpus blown to hell, torture is their shame.
Those quaint old laws are bothersome and long
So they just rewrite 'em as they go along.

3. For crimes against nature, for crimes against the earth,
Drilling, mining, logging, … for all that it is worth.
Global warming is a hoax, they loudly do proclaim,
Fiddling like Nero while … down in flame.
… planet. Who cares about that,
As long as your big wallet's getting fat?

4. For crimes against the people all over this land,
… we've had more than we can stand.
Fear-mongering and wire-taps … must be suppressed.
You get called a terrorist if you dare protest.
Bill screwed Monica. It was scandalous,
But it can't compare with Bush's screwing us.
