The Boomtown Rats - The Elephant's Graveyard lyrics

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 d**h duties when your on d**h 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.
