Big tall courthouse, a clock upon the wall 
A hammer on the table and a copper on the door 
A judge in front and a jury at the side 
A judge in front and a jury at the side 
A judge in front and a jury at the side 
And a Bible on the stand to say 
I won't tell lies 
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock 
Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god 
Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin 
In the deep south of 
America Can the lady take the stand now? 
Blah, blah, blah 
And how comes a black woman drives her own car? 
And what gives you the constitutional right 
And what gives you the constitutional right 
And what gives you the constitutional right 
To drive a car through a junction on a red stop light? 
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock 
Between the rock and roll devil and the fear of god 
Big brotherly love runs shallow as skin 
In the deep south of 
Yorkshire 
Well of course 
I drove the car through a red stop light 
But well, 
I thought that law was just for whites 
I saw the white folks drive through on green 
I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green 
I say, I saw the white folks drive through on green 
So when the red light flashed, 
I thought this must be for me 
Well it's one o'clock, two o'clock, any old o'clock 
Just a fear of the people with a fear of god 
Lancashire white girl tries to sing the blues 
Well, I woke up this morning like 
I usually do
