The Court
You put your hand up, you make your bid You got your pictures all laid out on the grid Look in the garden in the softest ground Buried everything that you never want found And the court will rise While the pillars all fall We got the healing and the birthday cake We got the real thing and we got the fake You got the ladder, look there is the snake How my body begins to ache And the court will rise While the pillars all fall You got the money going up your nose You got thе data, don't control where it goes But you havе left it, getting down to the bone Your only memories on your mobile phone And the court will rise While the pillars all fall Out of this sentence The ball and the claw SongtexteAnd all these pronouncements I can make up the voice of law Out in the market All our lives are on sale And the balls are drifting further apart Recovery cannot fail Got contingency fees, and they’re all in place Got the big shot barrister to plead my case Got my baby throwing up on a chocolate milk A black cat judge reaches for his silk And the court will rise While the pillars all fall We lost the line between the good and bad We lost the line between the sane and the mad Used to draw the line across the writing pad The line of conscience that we never have had And the court will rise While the pillars all fall So many are reaching for it So many reaching out for it You know that justice is blind So many are reaching for it So many reaching out for it You know that justice is blind So many looking out for it So many looking out for it You know that justice is blind Aus Songtexte Mania
