Kris Kristofferson - The law is for the protection of the people lyrics
Your rating:
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk Someone said he stumbled and he fell Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue And hauled ol' 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 drunks like Billy Dalton Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree. Homer Lee was nothin' but a hippy Walking through this world without a care Then one day six strappin' 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 hippies Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree. Oh, so thank your lucky stars we've got protection Walk the line and never mind the cost And no wonder who them lawmen was protectin' 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 riddle speakin' prophets Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree...
