Did you slip the noose when the beast broke loose?
The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be
And white turns black, dies of heart attack
The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene

You got the money but who needs the tension
And fear's no cheaper on the old age pension
There's just one thing that I forgot to mention
What've you got to lose when you know

You're guilty till proven guilty
Isn't that the law?
Guilty till proven guilty
That's what we all saw

Do the blue rinse shuffle with the beach boy muscle?
The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be
Waiting all your life for this golf cart life
The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene

You see the judge and then you check the jury
She does her hair and calls the lawyer Curti
It's Disneyland under martial law
Switch on the TV, tell me what you saw?

They were guilty till proven guilty
Isn't that the law?
Guilty till proven guilty
That's what we all saw

Justice isn't blind
It just looks the other way
Not from want of trying
I have nothing left to say

The sky burns bright, 24 hour night
The elephants graveyard ain't the place to be
And you don't pay death duties when your on death duty
The elephants graveyard needs the change of scene

You came here looking for the peace and quiet
The healthy air and the healthy diet
The sea's so calm but the street's a riot
Taken years off your life when you've no years left to give

Yeah, they're guilty till proven guilty
Isn't that the law?
Guilty till proven guilty
That's what we all saw
That's what we saw
That's what we saw
That's what we saw

Shame, shame, shimmy, shame
Shame, shame, shimmy, shame
