Lyrics

You put your hand up, you make your bid You got your pictures all laid out on the grid Dug 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've got the healer 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 the data, don't control where it goes What you have left is getting down to the bone Your only memory's on your mobile phone And the court will rise While the pillars all fall Out of this sentence The ball and the claw And all these pronouncements I can make out the voice of law Out in the market All our lives are on sale And the poles are drifting further apart Recovery cannot fail Got contingency deals, and they're all in place Got the big shot barrister to plead my case Got my baby throwing up on her chocolate milk A black cap judge reaches for his silk And the court will rise While the pillars all fall We lost the line between the good and the bad We lost the line between the sane and the mad Still 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 Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh So many are reaching for it (oh, oh, oh) So many reaching out for it (You know that justice is blind) So many are reaching for it (oh, oh, oh) So many reaching out for it (You know that justice is blind) So many looking out for it (oh, oh, oh) So many looking out for it We know that justice is blind
