lyrics

The paedophilic Bishop’s
Friendship
With the King in Waiting
Makes him impregnable
Laws of the land
The press understand
And leave him alone
Laws of the land
The press understand
And leave him alone
While another innocent child
Another innocent child
Like a threatened dog
Fetches the bone

Silence gives License
Bishops take Kings
Retribution
Retribution
On hold in the wings
On hold in the wings

Young family leaves The Firm
Anyone’s guess as to the whys
Virgin Island ring
An uncle’s ties
Young girls
Deception
And lies

A foot-in-the-mouth grandfather’s
Racist blunders embedded
The truth be told
In a colonial broach
A colonial broach from old
Father and daughter
Father and daughter
Settle out of court
A sum the tabloids sing

Suicide Watch
Reality on show
An unguarded prison cell
A friend in PM Trudeau
Leads to a new life in LA
For the privileged
All is well and All is okay
Rarely, rarely does anything ever stand in the way
As others less fortunate
Are left waiting
Left waiting for their say

The paedophilic Bishop’s
Friendship
With the King in Waiting
Makes him impregnable
Laws of the land
The press understand
And leave him alone
Laws of the land
The press understand
And leave him alone
While another innocent child
Another innocent child
Like a threatened dog
Fetches the bone

Silence gives License
Bishops take Kings
Retribution
Retribution
On hold in the wings
On hold in the wings

Silence gives License
Bishops take Kings
Retribution
Retribution
On hold in the wings
On hold in the wings

Fate and Hate
Hate and Fate . . .
