Soul For Hire (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
Written By:Elvis Coste[00:00:01]
Hang my head and shut my eyes[00:00:23]
What kind of justice is this[00:00:27]
Fool I was I thought that you fought fire with fire[00:00:31]
Got to me more than just a soul for hire[00:00:36]
Speaking for myself[00:00:42]
I wouldn't take the fame the fees the glory[00:00:43]
For whoring in the practice of the law[00:00:46]
I make my case stop and stutter[00:00:50]
Soul comes unglued from the uppers[00:00:52]
Blood is seeping in the hole[00:00:55]
A mother's eye is weeping[00:00:56]
I see every human kind[00:01:02]
And still the truth is distant[00:01:06]
I see every evil men do and desire[00:01:11]
Got to be more then just a soul for hire[00:01:15]
When it's time to give protection[00:01:21]
To the ones who need it most who are desperate[00:01:22]
I get distracted from my job[00:01:26]
Streams of ink and piles of paper[00:01:30]
What are the breaks[00:01:31]
Jump out the window Parole Escape[00:01:32]
Blood is seeping in the hole[00:01:34]
A mother's eye is weeping[00:01:36]
Hang my head and shut my eyes[00:01:41]
I can't see justice twisted[00:01:46]
I see every evil men do and desire[00:01:50]
Got to be more than just a soul for hire[00:01:54]
When it's time to give protection[00:02:00]
To the ones who need it most who are desperate[00:02:01]
I get distracted from my job[00:02:05]
Streams of ink and piles of paper[00:02:09]
To hand them over to dopers and kiddie-rapers[00:02:10]
Corrupt in every twisted grudge[00:02:13]
And that is just the judge[00:02:15]
Hang my head and shut my eyes[00:02:21]
What kind of justice it this[00:02:25]
Hang my head and shut my eyes[00:02:29]
What kind of justice is this[00:02:34]
Hang my head and shut my eyes[00:02:38]
What kind of justice is this[00:02:42]
