Gangsters

Lyrics

[Intro] (Bernie Rhodes knows Don't argue!) [Verse 1] Why must you record my phone calls? Are you planning a bootleg LP? Said you'd been threatened by gangsters Now it's you that's threatening me [Verse 2] Can't fight corruption with con tricks They use the law to commit crime And I dread, dread to think what the future'll bring When we're living in gangster times (Don't call me Scarface!) [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] Don't interrupt while I'm talking Or they'll confiscate all your guitars And Catch-22 says if I sing the truth They won't make me an overnight star [Bridge] Don't offer us legal protection They use the law to commit crime I dread to think what the future'll bring When we're living in real gangster times [Outro] (Bernie Rhodes knows Don't argue!)
