Sorry, Mr. Harris

I'm sorry if the soldiers have to hurt you, Mister Harris
You haven't really left them any choice
This must be quite a trial, you haven't eaten for a while
I wonder what's the matter with your voice

If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
No need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all
Better for us all

I'm sorry, but we simply don't believe you, Mister Harris
We've seen you with these people several times
We appreciate your pains, but we need to know their names
It would really take a load off all our minds

So if you told us who you know, it might be wiser
There's no need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all
It might be better for us all

That fellow Charlie Jones you were detained with, Mister Harris
I'm afraid we found him hanging in his cell
So we've asked your little brother to assist in our enquiries
I hope he won't be difficult as well

You know I think it might be wiser if you told us
Then you have my word of honour, you can go
I don't mean to twist your arm, we don't mean you any harm
But it's really quite important that we know

So if you told us who you know, it might be wiser
There's no need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all
It might be better

If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
There's no need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know, it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all

All right, Sergeant, carry on
