I'll start with the classic by the Bobby Fuller Four "I fought the law". What song best describes your legal career?
A perfect description of law firm life:

"You, beautiful liar
Your world is on fire
Look at the mess you've made of it all
All your desires
They creep like a virus
In perfect decay, ayy

'Cause even if you make me cry
I will never leave your side
So go ahead and tell me lies
I wanna hear
(...)

You, beautiful liar
You cheat and conspire
Building your gilded cage in the sky
And I wish I could change your
Destructive behavior
You're walking a fine line

And even if you make me cry
I will never leave your side
So go ahead and tell me lies
I wanna hear"

- Beautiful Liar by X Ambassadors
The Unforgiven by Metallica. Listen to it and read the lyrics and tell me it doesn’t represent the journey of every ambitious associate who wants to join a big law firm and become partner.

New blood joins this Earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he's known
Ooh, a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, oh, oh
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
I feel it every day. You’re welcome! Look the money is pretty good, I’m not complaining. But I relate to this and somehow, when I listen to it, on a bad day, I feel better. Maybe try it?
Doolin-Dalton by the Eagles

Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Sochta hu ki woh kitne masum the, kya se kya hogaya dekhte dekhte (nfak)

Koi dost hai na rakeeb hai, voh sheharon kitna ajeeb hai (JS)

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline
Filling in time
Provided with toys and scouting for boys
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
