Chancery lane

Keshco
Through the city of london tonight
There's rich men bloated on the carcase of life
If money talks then they're the translators
Laws are twisted by these legislators
Hailing cabs from the courts of justice
Pulses racing with dreams of avarice
Tasting the fruits of a privileged position
Take the cash, smash the opposition

And everybody is picking up the bill
And everybody, watching them steal, watching them steal

From the strand through chancery lane
Streets of splendour, but oh what shame
Canary wharf overlooking it all
Like gaudy candles on this cake of sprawl
In this game there's still all to play for
Though the chips may be stacked in their favour
So every march every seditious journal
Is a finger in the ribs that resistance is fertile

Cos everybody is picking up the bill
Everybody, watching them steal, watching them steal
There's always those with uses
For civil rights abuses
And jargon for excuses -
Journalese, legalese, gagging fees

Court order served, the server taken down for proof
Suspicion of harbouring the truth
Court order served, you must not ride here anymore
It's just like 1984
The state handed over to private interest
That drives the agenda, from motorist to militarist
And everybody is picking up their bill
And everybody, watching them steal, watching them steal
There's always those with uses
For civil rights abuses
And jargon for excuses -
Journalese, legalese, gagging fees
There's always those with uses
For civil rights abuses
And when they've worn out their excuses:
Turn away, turn away, turn away
