Gangsters - Live in Hitchin 6th April 1983

Bernie Rhodes knows
Don't argue

Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me

You can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time

Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
A catch 22, says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight gangster

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 gangster time
