The Power of Law
|
||
.
|
||
by Danny Zablishinsky
|
||
.
|
||
(to the tune of "The Power of Love" by Huwie Luis and The News)
|
||
.
|
||
The power of Law is a curious thing
|
||
Makes the victims pay
|
||
Makes the criminal sing
|
||
Change a thug to a little white dove
|
||
Less than justice --
|
||
That's the power of Law
|
||
.
|
||
Jails full of poor men
|
||
Makes you scream:
|
||
"Is this what they call 'The American dream'?!"
|
||
Makes a bad one good
|
||
Makes a wrong one right
|
||
The power of Law will keep you home at night
|
||
.
|
||
(Chorus:)
|
||
They grab your money --
|
||
They get the fame
|
||
They kill for credit cards
|
||
On subway trains.
|
||
A crime's very sudden
|
||
And it's cruel sometimes,
|
||
But what might decieve your eyes --
|
||
It's the power of Law
|
||
.
|
||
First time you feel it
|
||
It can make you sad
|
||
Next time you feel it
|
||
It can make you mad
|
||
You might be glad, baby
|
||
When you find
|
||
A gun to shoot 'em all
|
||
From behind
|
||
.
|
||
Some say the legal way is fair
|
||
Oh, but you won't care
|
||
Revenge's not new to you
|
||
And with a little help from below
|
||
You'll take the power of law
|
||
Should you take it????
|
||
|
||
(Chorus:)
|
||
It don't take bullets
|
||
Don't take fame
|
||
It takes your *VOTE*, man
|
||
To change the game
|
||
.
|
||
People who rob and rape
|
||
And steal
|
||
Will feel nothing till they feel...
|
||
They'll feel the powerful Law
|
||
The new and powerful Law...
|
||
.
|
||
[P.S.: I believe no "powerful law" can cure
|
||
the fundamental reason for crime -- social inequality. This song had been
|
||
written
|
||
in a "creative trans", and when I realized I really believe in a different
|
||
solution, it was already too late. I submit it here, partly because I find the
|
||
phenomenon of "words leading the parodist by the nose" so interesting
