Did you slip the noose when the beast broke loose
|
The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be
|
And white turns black, dies of heart attack
|
The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene.
|
You got the money, but who needs the tension
|
And fear's no cheaper on the old age pension
|
There's just one thing that I forgot to mention
|
What've you got to lose when you know
|
|
You're guilty 'till proven guilty
|
Isn't that the law
|
Guilty 'till proven guilty
|
That's what we saw
|
|
Do the blue rinse shuffle with the beach boy muscle
|
Waiting all your life for this golf cart life
|
You see the judge and then you check the jury
|
She does her hair and calls the lawyer curti
|
It's Disneyland under martial law
|
Titch on the TV tell me what you saw
|
|
They wre guilty 'till proven guilty etc....
|
|
Justice isn't blind
|
It just looks the other way
|
Not from want of trying
|
I have nothing left to say
|
|
The sky burns bright, 24 hour night
|
And you don't pay death duties when your on death duty
|
You came here looking for the peace and quiet
|
The healthy air and the healthy diet
|
The sea's so calm but the street's a riot
|
Taken years off your life when you've no years left to give
|
Yeah you're
|
|
Guilty 'till proven guilty etc.
|
|
Shame shame shimmy shame.
|
Shame shame shimmy shame.
