It’s Not a Crime to Party

Описание: Lyrics:
Verse 1
There’s a smile in a courtroom hallway,
Like this is all just bad timing.
A shrug where a spine should be,
A laugh where there should be gravity.

He says it like it’s common sense,
Like shame expired in self-defense.
Just another night, another door,
Another “don’t ask what we came here for.”

Chorus
“It’s not a crime to party,” he says,
Like that’s the line that clears the mess.
Like champagne washes fingerprints clean,
Like nothing happened behind the scenes.

“It’s not a crime to party,” sure,
If you’ve never paid the cost before.
If power’s loud and money’s smart,
And conscience is the missing part.

Verse 2
There’s a file with a thousand names,
Some crossed out, some still framed.
A private plane, a private grin,
A private joke nobody’s in.

He talks like time will take his side,
Like truth gets tired and goes outside.
Like history’s just gossip told
By people who couldn’t afford the gold.

Chorus
“It’s not a crime to party,” he repeats,
Over echoes of unheard pleas.
Over silence dressed as class,
Over questions nobody asked.

“It’s not a crime to party,” right,
If the lights are low and the guests are right.
If the law looks up instead of down,
And nobody’s name is said out loud.

Bridge
Funny how the rich get irony,
While the rest get accountability.
Funny how “just having fun”
Sounds different when the damage is done.

There’s a difference between a glass of wine
And a line you cross and call it fine.
Between being there and looking away,
Between a night out and what it took away.

Verse 3
Someday the music finally cuts,
The jokes fall flat, the doors unlock.
No press release, no practiced smile
Can shorten memory’s long mile.

Final Chorus
“It’s not a crime to party,” you’ll say,
When there’s nothing left to laugh away.
But the truth don’t dance, it stands its ground,
Long after the last song winds down.

No, it’s not a crime to party — sure.
But it is a crime to know and ignore.
And history don’t need a jury
To remember who said it was just a party.

Outro
Just a party.
That’s what they said.

----------

This song was written in response to a sentence that said more than it meant to.

“It’s not a crime to party.”

Sometimes a single line reveals how power speaks when responsibility disappears.
This song doesn’t name names.
It listens to the logic behind the words.

Written as a reflection — not a rant — the song explores denial, silence, and the strange ways accountability is avoided when status and money enter the room.

AI-assisted music.
Human-led intention.
