Better Get a Lawyer Songtext
von The Cruel Sea

I wasn′t doin' nothin′, anyway
Just what is it that I'm supposed to have done?

With bloodshot eyes and bleedin' hands
I put my new suit in the cleaners again
I took the first bus, I didn′t look back
Lungs long blowin′ like a smokestack
Hair fallin' out as the wind blows through it
My horse ran second, just like I knew it would
Overflowin′ ashtray, yeah

Pre-Oh yeah
Then the officer said

:
Better get a lawyer, son
You better get a real good one


Get yourself a suit and tie
And get your hair cut way up high
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a real good one

I got legs, I can walk
All the way down the dirt track
I fell down, I got up
I turned around and then I walked back
I walked to the sea
I stood there and looked for a sign
I took time, but it came
I added up and took what was mine

(Pre-)

Don′t drop the soap
Don't smoke no dope
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You′re gonna need a good one to get you outta this one
