Cartrouble Lyrics - Chumbawamba

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
