Lyrics Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers

Forensic Evidence

You got the lawyers and establishment

You got the proof

You got public opinion

And it's all the truth

You got first rate witnesses

Straight from the scene

So the only person guilty

In this court is me

You got forensic evidence

That never lies

You got someone who says

I'm guilty by my eyes

You got lie detectors

That you never use

But I'm the only person here

Who knows the truth

But you never here my voice

Never listen when I talk

Made your mind up in advance

And I'm going to take that walk

Chorus:

You based your case on circumstance

That's all it was and ever will be

And I never stood a chance

The old boys network's stronger than me

My friends and relations

Never gave up hope

That one day you'd listen

And admit you're wrong

But the old school system

Turns another blind eye

And I'm so unimportant

That I might as well die

And you never here my voice

Never listen when I shout

You put me in here long ago

And I'm never getting out

(Chorus x 2)

Now the truth has been unearthed

And opinion moves my way

You can't hold me in this prison cell

Not even for another day

And you have to hear my voice

Have to listen when I scream

Yet I wonder how you sleep

But if you do I hope you dream

(Repeat)

(Chorus x 2)
