Law of the Land

Law of the land
Some people are always heaven made
Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days
Time marches on

Yesterday is better than tomorrow
Life is uncertain, let me hear you say 'yeah'
That is that, oh yes it is
There'll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears, oho
It's the law of the land, my brother, oh
Whether you like it or you'll understand, ah hey hey
It's the law of the land, hey hey hey hey
'Cause made by almighty men

Live by the good book if you're able
You must play your cards on top of the table
When you gather you either win or lose
In life's ev'rybody's got to pay some dues, well
It's the law of the land, well well well
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand, you can't change it

It's the law of the land, ah-how
'Cause made by almighty men, oh hey
Hey, it's the law, the law of the land
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand
It's the law, the law of the land
'Cause made by almighty men
A teacher man can't be found
Until you find yourself, think about it
You might not like being, well you ought, but you'd better start like it

But you sure can't be nobody else
In other words: I can't be you, ain't no quit, yeah, you can't be me
Well well, that's all with you, my sister an' brother
And that's the way that good life meant to be, hey-ho
It's the law of the land, well
Whether you like it or you'll understand, say say
It's the law of the land, hey yeah oh
'Cause made by almighty men
Look at here

The tools of a man's day has got him by corrupt
For your own protection your Gods you must love
What goes around comes around

And what goes up, yeah, must come down, aha
It's the law of the land, well well well well
Whether you like it or you'll understand
It's the law of the land, well well well
'Cause made by almighty men, aha

It's the law of the land, everybody else say
Whether you like it or you'll understand
