The Law Is Always On Your Side Lyrics

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
