Case | |
The courthouse emptied out | |
The jurors all went home | |
The lawyers eased their guilty hearts | |
The cops were on their own | |
The soldiers left their camps | |
The weapons lay in heaps | |
The generals disappeared | |
The prisoners were freed | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
The theaters emptied out | |
The radios went dead | |
The stadiums were silent | |
And not a word was said | |
The dots were all connected | |
The lines were barely drawn | |
The secrets night kept hidden | |
Were left out in the dawn | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
The starving men and women | |
For once received their fill | |
The children of the highway | |
Were singin' on the hill | |
The politicians vanished | |
They must have caught their plane | |
The clandestine policeman | |
Stared out in the rain | |
I sat down on the curbstone | |
I rubbed my eyes and coughed | |
I rubbed my wrists and ankles | |
And I thanked the lord above | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth |
Case | |
The courthouse emptied out | |
The jurors all went home | |
The lawyers eased their guilty hearts | |
The cops were on their own | |
The soldiers left their camps | |
The weapons lay in heaps | |
The generals disappeared | |
The prisoners were freed | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
The theaters emptied out | |
The radios went dead | |
The stadiums were silent | |
And not a word was said | |
The dots were all connected | |
The lines were barely drawn | |
The secrets night kept hidden | |
Were left out in the dawn | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
The starving men and women | |
For once received their fill | |
The children of the highway | |
Were singin' on the hill | |
The politicians vanished | |
They must have caught their plane | |
The clandestine policeman | |
Stared out in the rain | |
I sat down on the curbstone | |
I rubbed my eyes and coughed | |
I rubbed my wrists and ankles | |
And I thanked the lord above | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth | |
Somebody, somebody told | |
They told the truth to somebody | |
Somebody told the truth |
