John Mayall Laws Must Change Lyrics

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've got to 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 if you don't see
both sides

You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long



You're
screaming at policemen

But they're only doing a gig

You're
screaming at policemen

But they're only doing a gig

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

Like don't throw
rocks at policemen

But get the knots of law untied



Every
time you're holding

You are guilty of a crime

Every time you're
holding

You are guilty of a crime

The laws must change one day

But it's going to take some time
