The Court (Dark-Side Mix)

You put your hand up, you make your bid

You got your pictures all laid out in 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 got the healer and the birthday cake

We got the real thing and we got the fake

We 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

In all these pronouncements, I can make out the voice of the 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 bigshot barrister to plead my case

Got my baby throwing up on her chocolate milk

The 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

So many are reaching for it, so many reaching out for it

(You know that justice is blind)

So many are reaching for it, so many reaching out for it

(You know that justice is blind)

So many looking out for it, so many looking out for it

(You know that justice is blind)
