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
