Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There I was completely wasting

Out of work and down

All inside, it's so frustrating

As I drift from town to town

Feel as though nobody cares

If I live or die

So I might as well begin

To put some action in my life

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

[Verse 2]

So much for the golden future

I can't even start

I've had every promise broken

There's anger in my heart

You don't know what it's like

You don't have a clue

If you did, you'd find yourselves

Doing the same thing too

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

[Bridge]

You don't know what it's like

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law
