It was also one of the band’s better-received tracks on the mainstream charts, peaking at #29 in Australia...
Better Get A Lawyer Lyrics
I wasn't doin' nothin'
Anyway, just what is it that I'm supposed to have done?
With bloodshot eyes and bleedin' hands
I put my new suit in the cleaners again
I took the first bus, I didn't look back
Lungs long blowin' like a smoke stack
Hair fallin' out as the wind blows through it
My horse ran second just like I knew it would
Overflowin' ashtray, yay
Aw yeah
And the occifer said
Better get a lawyer, son
You better get a real good one
Better get a lawyer, son
You better get a real good one
Get yourself a suit and tie
And get your hair cut way up high
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a real good one
I got legs, I can walk
All the way down the dirt track
I fell down, I got up
I turned around and then I walked back
I walked to the sea
I stood there and looked for a sign
It took time, but it came
I added up and took what was mine
Aw yeah
And the occifer said
Better get a lawyer, son
You better get a real good one
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a real good one
Don't drop the soap
Don't smoke no dope
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a good one to get you outta this one
