Lyrics The Law Is Always On Your Side - Neil Finn

The Law Is Always On Your Side

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
