Lyrics
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a cheat
When judges enforce the letter of the law
And the gangsta rules the street
When its just a procedural game
And the spirit of the law is put to shame
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a cheat
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a fraud
When venal lawyers serve their own interest
And justice is just another broad
To be wined, dined, and made
And by her own seducers betrayed
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a fraud
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a joke
When the courts serve the special interests
And condemn the common folk
To be at the mercy of those
Who'd steal the change from a dead man clothes
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a joke
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a fake
When the judges are corrupt politicians
And the police are on the take
When the laws prohibit getting high
But permit the unprotected to die
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a fake
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a deceit
When it bows to the people in power
And crowns a commander in thief
When it tramples human rights
Its agents kick down your doors in the night
The Law of the Land can be a lie
The Law of the Land can be a deceit
