Elvis Costello - Soul For Hire (45 Alibis Version) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Hang my head and shut my eyes
  • What kind of justice is this?
  • Fool I was that thought that
  • You fight fire with fire
  • Got to be more than just a soul for hire
  • Speaking for myself I couldn't
  • Take the fame, the fees, the boredom
  • For whorin' in the practice of the law
  • I make my case, stop and stutter
  • Soul comes unglued from the uppers
  • Blood is seeping in the hole
  • A mother's eye is weeping
  • I see every human kind
  • And still the truth is distant
  • I hear every evil men do and desire
  • Got to be more than just a soul for hire
  • When it's time to give protection to
  • The ones who need it most
  • The good and desperate
  • I get distracted from my job
  • (Streams of vagrant piles of paper
  • One of the verdicts
  • Jump out of a window for no escape ?)
  • Blood is seeping in the hole
  • A mother's eye is weeping
  • Hang my head and shut my eyes
  • And still the truth is distant
  • I see every evil men do and desire
  • Got to be more than just a soul for hire
  • When it's time to give protection to
  • The ones who need it most
  • The good and desperate
  • I get distracted from my job
  • Streams of vagrant piles of paper
  • A hand to hold for the dopers and kiddie rapers
  • Corrupt in every twisted grudge
  • and that is just the judge
  • Hang my head and shut my eyes
  • I can't see justice twisted
  • Hang my head and shut my eyes
  • What kind of justice is this?
  • Hang my head and shut my eyes
  • What kind of justice is this?
