Mr. Crown Prosecutor

Cold Chisel

Mr. Crown Prosecutor

No matter what I say or do

You take money, to put whatever

May be the opposite view

What you see, is what I am

I will always be, an honest man

Mr. Crown Prosecutor, raise my hand

I can't say the same about you



Mr. Crown Prosecutor, go down now

I'll show you where your children play

The deep shit they get to play with

And the people that they've got to pay

I got caught, in a traffic jam

A girl on the street, with a chain of command

Goin' up through the city

To the government of the day



Mr. Crown Prosecutor, raise my hand

The hands of a fish so small

You know, if it wasn't so

I wouldn't be here at all

What you see, is what I am

I will always be, an honest man

Lost in the blind stupidity of it all



Mr. Crown Prosecutor, go down now

I'll show you where your children play

The deep shit they get to play with

And the people they've got to pay

But Mr. Crown Prosecutor, if you look

You'll find where it tells it to ya in this book

How the vine by the well

Gotta branch out over the wall
