John Mayall – The Laws Must Change lyrics
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 minds

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 gotta see both sides
You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long

You're screamin' at policemen
But they're only doin' a gig
You're screamin' at policemen
But they are only doin' a gig

Gotta try and take the time
To figure out how the issue got that big

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you
Many things before he died
Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you
Many things before he died

Don't throw rocks at policemen
But get the knots of law untied

Every time you're holdin'
You are guilty of a crime
Every time you're holdin'
You are guilty of a crime

The laws must change one day
But it's goin' to take some time
