Johnny Law Songtext
von Down by Law

Street lights glare, but nothing′s clear
And Robin Hood, he doesn't live ′round here
Johnny Law is in the rear view, and it's no good
He's gonna get us now, and it′s understood
And I wanna know what the answer should be
Flashing lights in my mind, true sounds of liberty
Who is the promise for? It seems so far away
No matter where I go, I just can′t get away
And in the burning sun, there's someone on the run
We′ll wave the black flag, we'll wave it right there in his face
(Johnny Law) He′s here today
(Johnny Law)
And it echoes here, streets of America
He's gonna get you here, streets of America
Who is the promise for? It seems so far away


Between the bad guys and the badge, don′t go alone today
And in the D.C. sun, there's someone on the run
We'll wave the black flag, salute the one that got away
(From Johnny Law) Let′s get away
(From Johnny Law)
And he wears a hundred faces
Hiding out in so many places
He′ll cut you down to size, say your rosary tonight
All over Detroit to south L.A
From Dixie town to a capital parade
Away
(From Johnny Law) Let's get away
(From Johnny Law) Let′s get away
(From Johnny Law) Let's get away
(From Johnny Law)
