Mr. Harris sta subendo un pesante interrogatorio nel corso del quale il suo aguzzino, un torturatore professionista delle forze dell’ordine, gli prospetta con tono pacato e molto professionale tutte le sofferenze che gli procurerà in mancanza di una sua “spontanea” collaborazione, spiegandogli che un amico arrestato con lui si è impiccato il cella e che hanno pure fermato suo fratello…
I'm sorry if the soldiers have to hurt you, Mr Harris
You haven't really left them any choice
This must be quite a trial
Y ou haven't eaten for a while
I wonder what's the matter with your voice?

If you told us what you know it might be wiser
No need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all

I'm sorry but we simply don't believe you Mr Harris
We've seen you with these people several times
I appreciate your pains
But we need to know their names
It would really take a load off all our minds

If you told us what you know it might be wiser
No need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all

That fellow Mr Jones you were detained with, Mr Harris
I'm afraid we found him hanging in his cell
So I've asked your little brother
to assist with our enquiries
I hope he won't be difficult as well

If you told us what you know it might be wiser
No need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know it might be wiser

I think it might be better for us all

I think it might be wiser if you told us
Then you have my word of honour you can go
I don't mean to twist your arm
W e don't mean you any harm
But it's really quite important that we know

If you told us what you know it might be wiser
No need to knock your head against a wall
If you told us who you know it might be wiser
I think it might be better for us all
