Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The time must surely come for the laws to fit the times
The time must surely come for the laws to fit the times
But while the law is standing you gotta open up your mind
[Verse 2]
It seems to be the fashion to say you're right and they are wrong
It seems to be the fashion to say you're right and they are wrong
But you've gotta see both sides, you'll find yourself in jail 'fore long
[Verse 3]
You're screamin' at policemen but they're only doin' a gig
You're screamin' at policemen but they're only doin' a gig
Gotta take the time to figure out how the issue got that big
[Verse 4]
Lenny Bruce was tryna tell you many things before he died
Lenny Bruce was tryna tell you many things before he died
Don't throw rocks at policemen but get the knots of law untied
[Verse 5]
Every time you're holdin' you are guilty of the crime
Every time you're holdin' you are guilty of the crime
The laws must change one day but it's gonna take some time
