TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE Me and the boys on holiday, seeing what we could see The cutest girl with big green eyes, a nine out of ten beauty She didn’t even look crazy, but she didn’t look at me She was holding hands with some nerdy man, He wasn’t even a three… Travesty of justice, an un-just travesty Travesty of justice, why can’t that happen to me? Travesty, travesty, travesty of justice He’d been hit with the ugly stick, no ‘Ladykiller’ was he If he had one thing going for him, it must have been money She was looking amazing, like a hotter Keira Knightley He was looking back at us, ‘I bet you wanna be me’ .. Travesty of justice, an un-just travesty Travesty of justice, why can’t that happen to me? Travesty of justice, an un-just travesty In the words of the poet Kylie... “I Should be so Lucky” I was getting downhearted, but the boys they put me straight They said “glass half full, not empty now”... “There’s hope for us all there mate” Travesty of justice, an un-just travesty Travesty of justice, why can’t that happen to me? Travesty of justice, an un-just travesty Travesty of justice, why can’t that happen to me? Travesty of justice an un-just travesty Glass half full, not empty now - one day that’ll happen to me Travesty, travesty, travesty, TRAVESTY of justice!
