Bobby Bare - Law Is for Protection of the People слова песни
(Kris Kristofferson)
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
Six squad cars came screamin` to the rescue
Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail.
`Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules`re rules and any fool can see
We don`t need no tramps like Billy Dalton
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree.
Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger
Showin` he had no means of support
Policeman took a look at Charlie`s pants cuffs
Hustled Charlie Watson off to court.
`Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules`re rules and any fool can see
We don`t need no bums like Charlie Watson
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree.
Homer Lee was nothing but a hippie
Walking through this world without a care
Then one day six strapping brave policemen
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair.
`Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules`re rules and any fool can see
We don`t need no hairy headed hippie
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree.
So thank your lucky stars you`ve got protection
Walk the line and never mind the cost
And don`t wonder who them lawmen were protecting
When they nailed the Saviour to the cross.
`Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules`re rules and any fool can see
We don`t need no little sneaking prophets
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree...
