Gangsters
Why must you tape my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg L.P?
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me.
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
Then use the law to commit crime?
I dread to think what the future will bring
Now we're living in real gangster times.
Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars.
And catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star.
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime.
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster times L.P
Are you planning a bootleg L.P?
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me.
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
Then use the law to commit crime?
I dread to think what the future will bring
Now we're living in real gangster times.
Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars.
And catch 22 says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star.
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime.
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster times L.P
