Tonne of Bricks

[Verse 1]
On that cold December day
From a rooftop threw your liberty away
Do you regret your choice to stay
And say, "let justice hit me where it may"?

[Verse 2]
This kind of violence is not
Tolerated outside the Bullingdon club
No compassion to display
Oh, I have nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]
After a scene in the judge's chambers
Where a whisper could be heard
The press will have a field day, old boy
So mum's the word
They talk in a secret language
That no one understands
A nod, a wink, a discreet look
And the shaking of hands

[Chorus]
Well I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just can't fuck with politics

[Verse 3]
Only got yourself to blame
No examples here are being made
For all the newspaper shame
Oh, how quickly they forgot your name

[Pre-Chorus]
After a scene in the judge's chambers
Where a whisper could be heard
The press will have a field day, old boy
So mum's the word
They talk in a secret language
That no one understands
A nod, a wink, a discreet look
And the shaking of hands

[Chorus]
Well I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just can't fuck with politics
With politics, woah

[Bridge]
And how quickly thrown were all your judges' stones
Oh how quick the obliteration of your reputation
So detested, so deplored, so unyieldingly abhorred
By elected officials who themselves so above board
They had recently committed fraud

And you'll never hear me say that lady justice wept that day
But as for lady accountability
Oh, I might imply she had something in her eye

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just can't fuck with politics

I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
I'm gonna come down on you like a tonne of bricks
And show these kids they just can't fuck with politics
