lyrics

I Love the Law

I love the law
And if you ask me yes but why what for
When you’ve been working this hard you don’t need a reason
I’m simply sure

It made me sore to think of working there forever poor
Time to buy out the people who I used to slave for
In the hardware store

I never understood how this great nation
Was built on countless tomes of loopy legislation
But now I’ve finally found my true vocation
I’m learning them by heart
I love the law

I love the law
And if you ask me yes but why what for
When you’ve been working this hard you don’t need a reason
I’m simply sure

Before the game my father swore
Better win this one or there’ll be war
And I adopt his sporting spirit every time I throw those robes on
And take the floor

No I don’t need the kind of education
That breeds that unemployed and erudite frustration
Strange how the most strident social critic
Will usually be society’s most parasitic
Ought to be a law against them all

I love the law
And if you ask me yes but why what for
When you’ve been working this hard you don’t need a reason
I’m simply sure

I love the law
I’ll fight this case for you with tooth and claw
But if we lose then you can rot in prison
Cause that’s the law
