Lawyers

Lyrics

Lawyers at the end of the world Playing tennis and acting like stars Sinking mojitos in bars in a sinking world The day before the West fell Only the lawyers were left Their Teslas were hogging the best Long Island real estate left At the end of the world And the children sued the parents As soon as they came of age And the parents sued their children And so they set the stage For the pupils to sue teachers The teachers to counter-sue Everyone trumps everyone In a horrible grudge feud But lawyers at the end of the world Are happy as pigs in a ditch But they wonder why no-one is rich Except them Lovers sued lovers Withdrawing consent retrospectively And governments sued the governed For voting incoherently Gossip dossiers at music mags Brought down the artists they'd raised The artists turned to the libel laws To make those journals pay And lawyers at the end of the world Were happy as pigs in a pen But they wondered where everyone went Except them
