Diplomatic Immunity Lyrics

I can speed in my car down the road
I don't have to follow the highway code
The laws which bind you don't bother me
I've got diplomatic immunity

I'm really free
They can't touch me
I've got sanctuary
Diplomatic immunity

I can walk down the street with a gun in my hand
To protect myself from violent gangs
Go into Harrods and steal some jewels
Store detectives look like fools

I'm really free
They can't touch me
I've got sanctuary
Diplomatic immunity

I killed a girl once just for fun
Then waited for the police to come
They couldn't do a thing
I'm safe inside my wall of red tape

I'm really free
They can't touch me
I've got sanctuary
Diplomatic immunity

Who is there to hear the call?
And see the injustice of it all
But who is there the hear the call?
And see the injustice of it all

I'm really free
They can't touch me
I've got sanctuary
Diplomatic immunity

Cover art for Diplomatic Immunity lyrics by G.B.H.

the guitar line has a james bond on dexadrine vibe, but i think the song's about the hypocrisy of a "just" society ruled by bureacrats -- men who, because they enforce the rules, are able to place themselves outside them. a typical '80s punk critique, maybe, but worth making all the same.
