Its The Law

Jack boots in the corner
Pissing in a bottle of beer
On the edge of the world with the flags unfurled
Your daddy teaches hate and fear

Late night talk show preacher
Talking to the faithful amen
Magnetic lines that give us the sign
Forgive us of all our sins

This is why
This is who you are
It's the law
ch it's the law

Lace around the shotgun
Everybody says it's a shame
Baby's on the way
It's graduation day
cnd your friends don't look at you the same

Finding a job at eighteen
cin't a job worth shit to pay
Dropping a dime on the assembly line
There's nothing left to say

It's your choice
It's who you are
It's the law

It's that voice from afar
It's the law
Oh yes it is

Eighty years and counting
How could this have come as a shock
Working for dimes from nine to nine
Someone's got to punch the clock

Should have been they all say
Started to believe it yourself
Could of had it someday but along the way
You gave the choice to someone else

This is life
It's who you are
It's the law

It's your life
It's your choice
It's the law
