Law Is For Protection Of The People — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

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
