Soul for hire

Elvis Costello

Composición de: Elvis Costello
Hang my head and shut my eyes 
What kind of justice is this? 
Fool I was, I thought that you fought fire with fire 
Got to be more than just a soul for hire 

Speaking for myself I wouldn't take the fame, 
the fees, the glory 
For whoring in the practice of the law 
I make my case stop and stutter 
Soul comes unglued from the uppers 
Blood is seeping in the hole 
A mother's eye is weeping 

I see every human kind 
And still the truth is distant 
I see every evil men do and desire 
Got to be more than just a soul for hire 

When it's time to give protection 
To the ones who need it most, who are desperate 
I get distracted from my job 
Streams of ink and piles of paper 
What are the breaks? 
Jump out the window? Parole? Escape? 
Blood is seeping in the hole 
A mother's eye is weeping 

Hang my head and shut my eyes 
I can't see justice twisted 
I see every evil men do and desire 
Got to be more than just a soul for hire 

When it's time to give protection 
To the ones who need it most, who are desperate 
I get distracted from my job 
Streams of ink and piles of paper 
To hand them over to dopers and kiddie-rapers 
corrupt in every twisted grudge 
And that is just the judge 

Hang my head and shut my eyes 
What kind of justice is this?
