Above The Law

[Verse 1] Made homeless by your hands You stood so high, so proud Talked like the rules were yours While I slept under cloud Walked by the cashpoints Empty card, empty palms On benefits, no bread Just a knot in my stomach I watched the food shop glow Then watched my pockets fold No one sees the thin nights Or the way the winter hold [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s all in order But your halo’s full of rust You built a wall of papers And called that justice [Chorus] Above the law You think you’re above the law I’m still here I’m still here when it falls Above the law You think you’re above the law No food, no floor But I won’t bow at all [Verse 2] Taken to cities afar Twice-fold on a cold path Masonic walks of London Where the old doors never ask I saw the suits pass through With their neat and secret smiles While I counted my last coins And learned the shape of miles Every bus stop felt like hell Every bench had a name But I kept my head up Even when they fed me shame [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s all in order But your hands don’t carry truth I learned the cost of silence In the cracks you choose to use [Chorus] Above the law You think you’re above the law I’m still here I’m still here when it falls Above the law You think you’re above the law No food, no floor But I won’t bow at all [Bridge] When the rain hit my coat I made vows in the dark If you build your throne on people You’ll still answer for your mark I don’t need your mercy I need the door held wide I need bread for the broken And a place where I can hide [Final Chorus] Above the law You think you’re above the law I’m still here I’m still here when it falls Above the law You think you’re above the law No food, no floor But I won’t bow at all
