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

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
