Johnny Law - Down By Law

Streetlights glare but nothing’s clear

And Robin Hood, he doesn’t live round here

Johnny Law is in the rearview and it’s no good

He’s gonna get us now, and it’s understood

And I want to 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

Is 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

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 a Dixie town to a capital parade

Let’s get 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
