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
