Down By Law Songtext
30 years of getting up from bed 30 years he's punctual at work Dirty years in a dark factory 30 years in trouble day by day He's a victim of his time - He's got to carry it out He never did something wrong In the morning hear the chairman say Too old to work - Go your own way The final act - Release out of life Too old to live - too young to die The situation of this man - The situation ain't new The little are to blame - The big are not to Down - Down, down by law - Down by law... Chanceless search - responsibility Antisocial - outlaws of society His mind is changing - from white to black One decision - There ain't no way back He's a victim of his time - He's got to carry it out He never did something wrong Down - Down, down by law - Down by law... No doubt about it - looking for revenge Blow up the walls - The walls of forgotten names The end of the story - They caught him like a thief No one who supports him - No one would believe He is down - Down by law... For years sent to prison - To live in daily fear But the men of justice - Released him after years He is down - Down by law... His sincered pride was broken - Not to be repaired The rumour of justice - Destroy it everywhere He is down - Down by law... His wife and children down on their knees At school they say: Children of the beast No way out - Out of misery Only dreaming - The dream of harmony The situation of this man - The situation ain't new The little are to blame - The big are not to Down - Down, down by law - Down by law...
