Where The Bodies Are Songtext
Where The Bodies AreSomebody went and killed some peopleAnd they know whoThe evidence fits around the factsLike a faovurite shoeBut nobody knows where the corpses areTheir whereabouts unknownThe killer's in a frenzyAnd he's getting on the phoneSo they got their thinking hats onAnd spread out in their carsBut only I know where the bodies areYou know they can i.d. someoneFrom one cell of skinBut they couldn't spot a crime sceneIf the killer went and let 'em inTo genetic fingerprintingWe all take off our hatsTo hide the little stains that spreadAcross the welcome matYou can put your best foot forwardAnd wish upon a starBut only I know where the bodies areLawyers defending guilty menDepending on the bidThe question isn't if they're guiltyBut if they'll get acquittedJustice goes unjustfiedBeneath a police chief and an eaglePain's too difficult to proveThey're not going to make pain illegalTo think that we were once naiveTo think we've come this farTo think that only I know where the bodies areSome people don't wanna knowThe facts behind the scamOr see "Who could I be?"Peeking out behind "The great I am"But most of us got enough to think aboutHusbands and wivesTo notice pointless death's becomeA brand new way of lifeAnd this is just a sandwich boardThat I wear out in the parkSaying only I know where the bodies are(And I'm not telling you.)
