robber's roost - johnny law lyrics

i had a friend who was hungry and alone
he found a box of leftovers beside an old payphone
he took his first bite, his eyes, they’de opened wide
to see a dark figure with a nightstick at his side

he said “hey son, now throw that food away
you won’t be eating nothing here today”
and my friend said “but im starvin, i haven’t eaten in days, its just a bit of leftover food man, come on i’m f+ckin starving over here”

and the pigger said “kid now listen here to me
quit talking back, respеct authority
or i’ll plant cocaine on you and haul you off to jail
and trust me son, you won’t be makin’ bail”

so you bеtter look out, when you see that black n white
they’ll follow you when you’re alone in the middle of the night
not a place to hide, cuz if your house is made of straw
its gonna get blown over by good ol’ johnny law

whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, whoah oh, woahohohhh

i new some folks, who were sleepin’ by the tracks
just mindin’ their own business, just tryin to relax
when they heard some footsteps on the gravel
they saw a flashing light and a voice said
“you can’t sleep out here tonight”
now life is hard, when you can’t afford a bed
they make it so you break the law by the time you lay your head
but you should ask why they tell you “don’t resist!”
its practically illegal to exist

so you better think fast
when that old sheriff rolls around
he’ll draw his gun and tackle you
and throw you to the ground
he’ll take you in and he’ll beat you sore and raw
now you’re in county, due to johnny law

whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, whoah oh, woahohohhh

well i was walking, and my legs were really tired
oh so tired!
to sit down for a moment, was all that i desired
as i set aside my burden and stretched out my weary feet
you can probably guess just who i chanced to meet

he said “this land is not your property so move it right along
for you to sit on this concrete is wrong
we own the sidewalk, the dimension, the whole nation!
now get out of here and here is your citation.”
“and your dog, wagging her tail (who? charlotte?)
you got a license for that pup? ill taker her off to jail
she wasn’t down right to your side, she was running playing ball
tell your dog that playing heres illegal

so you better hide, when you see that red and blue
they’ll capture all you crusties and your little doggies too
when will we have enough?
what will be the final straw?
when will we get rid of, of good ol’ johnny law?!

whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, woah oh
whoah oh, whoah oh, woahohohhh
