The Law Is Always On Your Side - Neil Finn

How, do we know

What was wrong with him

That he could do, such a thing

It’s hard, to accept

Children watch and learn

While your city burns

Say the law is always on your side

But I can’t image anyone

That could take away her son

When it’s plain to see he was not doing any harm

The image is not real

It’s not the neighborhood, I know

But he was one of us

I remember, him at school

Sometimes getting high

But he was not a bad guy

Say the law is always on your side

But I can’t image anyone

That could take away her son

He was a troubled man but he wouldn’t hurt anyone

Say the law is always on your side

But I don’t believe it anymore

Cause I heard it all before

And it’s plain to see that the power is above the law

And they took away her son

He was a troubled man but he wouldn’t hurt anyone
