"The Elephants Graveyard"

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 death duties when
your on death 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.
