Suffer the lawyers

Now that the love is gone

Now that we are broken

Now that the rings turn black

It is now betoken

Suffer the lawyers

Suffer the lies

Suffer the court

Suffer the knives

Funny how love turned into a negotiation

For assets and calculations of cost

And how children turned into hostages

And prizes that are to be won and lost.

Suffer the lawyers

Suffer the lies

Suffer the courts

Suffer the knives.

Funny how words are thought up to end

Relationships that one cannot mend

If our love was so very priceless

Why is there now a claim for rent?

Suffer the lawyers

Suffer the lies

Suffer the courts

Suffer the knives.
