I think that one ought to be posted. Generally, if you think a song might be of interest to folk or blues musicians, the lyrics should be posted. If it's a plain old pop song, then maybe a link is sufficient.'Cause the law is for protection of the people
-Joe Offer-
THE LAW IS FOR PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE
Kris Kristofferson
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail'Cause the law is for protection of the peopleCharlie Watson wandered like a stranger
Rules are rules and any fool can see
We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
Showing he had no means of support
Police man took one look at his pants cuffs
Hustled Charlie Watson off to court.'Cause the law is for protection of the peopleHomer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy
Rules are rules and any fool can see
We don't need no bums like Charlie Watson
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.
Walking thru this world without a care
Then one day, six strapping brave policeman
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules are rules and any fool can see
We don't need no riddle speaking prophets
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.
