Billy Bragg & Wilco - Aginst Th' Law lyrics

rate me

It's against the law to walk, and against the law to talk<br />

Against the law to loaf, against the law to work<br />

Against the law to read, against the law to write<br />

Against the law to be a black, a brown, or white<br />

<br />

Everything's against the law<br />

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues<br />

<br />

It's against the law to eat, against the law to drink<br />

Against the law to worry, against the law to think<br />

Against the law to marry or try to settle down<br />

Against the law to ramble like a bum from town to town<br />

<br />

Everything's against the law<br />

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues<br />

<br />

It's against the law to come, against the law to go<br />

Against the law to ride, against the law to roll<br />

Against the law to hug and against the law to kiss<br />

Against the law to shoot, against the law to miss<br />

<br />

Everything's against the law<br />

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues<br />

<br />

It's against the law to gamble, against the law to roam<br />

Against the law to organize or try to build a home<br />

Against the law to sing, it's against the law to dance<br />

Against the law to tell you all the trouble on my hands<br />

<br />

Everything in Winston-Salem is against the law<br />

I'm a low-pay daddy singing the high-price blues
