Well I was drivin' down the road just mindin' my ownWhen Johnny Law pulled up from behindHe walked up to my window and said roll it downAnd let me see what I can findI said no way what's mine is mineAnd I'd appreciate it if you'd let me beHe said I'll leave you be all rightIn a cell all nightI'll lock you up and throw away the keyHe slapped them cuffs on my wristsAnd my hands clenched into fistsAnd I wish I could have punched him in the jawAnd knocked out old Johnny LawOh Johnny LawJohnny LawHe's the littlest man I ever sawWith his badge and his gunHe'll just hassle everyoneHe'll get you on the runJohnny LawHe took me down to the state houseAnd he hurled that book at meAnd bein in a cell is like bein in HellSongtexteFor a man who longs to be freeI sat there and I wonderedJust what gave this man the rightTo leave me to rotHere on this rickety cotJust a-starin' at the ceilin' all nightAnd I couldn't help but thinkOf the words of my dear departed paHe said do the best you canGo be a good manBut don't you never trust Johnny LawOh Johnny LawJohnny LawHe's the littlest man I ever sawWith his badge and his gunHe'll just hassle everyoneHe'll get you on the runJohnny LawWithout any proof they couldn't keep me thereSo they let me out in the mornin'And that cop said Son I don't know what you doneBut just consider this a little warnin'I said it must take a lot of nerve to protect and to serveBut I wonder what it would be likeIf you didn't have that badge or that gun or that uniformTo hide behindAnd although I feel that this whole dealThat I got was pretty damn rawMy conscience is clean cuz I'm a human beingAnd you're just Johnny LawOh Johnny LawJohnny LawWell you're the littlest man I ever sawWith your badge and your gunYou just hassle everyoneHe'll get you on the runJohnny LawWith his badge and his gunHe'll just hassle everyoneYou'll never get me on the runJohnny Law Aus Songtexte Mania
