Lyrics for Soul For Hire by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Soul For Hire | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 60 | | | | Lyrics: | Hang my head and shut my eyes
What kind of justice is this?
Fool I was, I thought that you
fought fire with fire
Got to me more than just a soul for hire
Speaking for myself I
wouldn't take the fame, the fees, the glory
For whoring 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 see
every evil men do and desire
Got to be more then just a soul for hire
When it's time to
give protection
To the ones who need it most, who are desperate
I get distracted from my
job
Streams of ink and piles of paper
What are the breaks?
Jump out the window? Parole?
Escape?
Blood is seeping in the hole
A mother's eye is weeping
Hang my head and
shut my eyes
I can't see justice twisted
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, who are desperate
I get distracted from my job
Streams of ink and piles of
paper
To hand them over to dopers and kiddie-rapers
Corrupt in every twisted grudge
And
that is just the judge
Hang my head and shut my eyes
What kind of justice it this? | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
