Did you slip the noose when the beast broke loose
The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be
And white turns black, dies of heart attack
The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene.
You got the money, but who needs the tension
And fear's no cheaper on the old age pensionThere's just one thing that I forgot to mentionWhat've you got to lose when you knowYou're guilty 'till proven guiltyIsn't that the law
Guilty 'till proven guiltyThat's what we saw
Do the blue rinse shuffle with the beach boy muscle
Waiting all your life for this golf cart life
You see the judge and then you check the jury
She does her hair and calls the lawyer curtiIt's Disneyland under martial law
Titch on the TV tell me what you saw
They wre guilty 'till proven guilty etc....
Justice isn't blind
It just looks the other way
Not from want of trying
I have nothing left to say
The sky burns bright, 24 hour night
And you don't pay death duties when your on death duty
You came here looking for the peace and quiet
The healthy air and the healthy diet
The sea's so calm but the street's a riot
Taken years off your life when you've no years left to give
Yeah you'reGuilty 'till proven guilty etc.
Shame shame shimmy shame.
Shame shame shimmy shame.
I Boomtown Rats sono una band rock irlandese formatasi a Dublino nel 1975. Il gruppo è guidato dal frontman e compositore Bob Geldof, noto anche per la sua attività umanitaria. La musica dei Boomtown Rats si caratterizza per un sound punk-rock energico e melodico, con testi spesso satirici e politici. Tra i loro successi più famosi figurano "I Don't Like Mondays", "Rat Trap" e "The Boomtown Rats". Nel 1984, Geldof ha fondato Band Aid, un supergruppo di artisti britannici e irlandesi che ha registrato il brano "Do They Know It's Christmas?" per raccogliere fondi in aiuto della carestia in Etiopia. I Boomtown Rats hanno venduto milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e sono considerati uno dei gruppi rock più influenti degli anni '70 e '80.
