lyrics

LAW AND ORDER

You go to school and they say you will learn
But all you’ll learn is how to take your turn
They’ll iron out every little kink
But God help you if you ever try to think

Law and Order Means Sheep to Slaughter
And I just ought to Obey

You go to work because you need to survive
So just play dead through every nine to five
Well work makes free if you learn to obey
In a hundred years, who’ll miss you anyway

Law and Order Means Sheep to slaughter
And you just ought to Obey

Law and Order Means Sheep to Slaughter
And I just ought to make hay

I wanna live in Ameri---
Cars are so fast, like a Jagu---
Ask and it’s yours
When you’re a star

I could be rich if I just work…
Hard man by name and by nature
Of the beast
That will drive you mad

It’s a choice you make but you must make it on your own
So don’t call a friend or crawl under a stone
One day you’ll find that freedom’s in your head
And being numb is close to being dead
