The Law's the Law |
 |
|
We forgive too many crimes
And we say that it's okay
Go ahead and break the Law
We don't mean them anyway.
They're enforced when they suit us
Or we'll pretend we didn't see
Unless a law abiding citizen
Like someone like you or me.
If you're one of those in power
In politics or corporate trust
If you spend enough dollars
Then acquittal seems a must.
If you work for almost nothing
You don't need to toe the line
As long as the "boss" gets richer
Everything will be just fine.
No one should be above the Law
From the bottom to the "top"
There's no Law when it's twisted
And this practice has to stop.
Our courts say, they can burn our Flag
You can stomp it to the ground
Or protest with foreign colors
Out there waving all around.
But as Roosevelt once said
Some words we should live by
"We have room for but one flag"
One language for you and I.
We still welcome immigrants
Who seek the American Way
But they, too should be governed
By our Laws and what they say.
There's the right way and the wrong
That all the people should know
And if they want to break our laws
Then, they should be forced to go.
And if those we vote into office
Insist on saying it's alright
Then we should vote them out
Or else we will lose the fight.
Our borders are all broken
And nobody seems to care
Someday a War we might fight
Will not be, fought "over there."
All the Laws of our Land
Should apply to one and all
We can't just use those we want
Lest we'll watch our Nation fall.
We must shut down our borders
Keep the illegals from our Land
Though Lady Liberty has a saying
This is not what She had planned. |
