John Mayall - 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
