The Laws Must Change by John Mayall

The time must surely come  for the laws to fit the times
The time must surely come for the laws to fit the times,
but while the law is standing you got to open up your minds

It seems to be the fashion to say you're right and they are wrong
It seems to be the fashion to say you're right and they are wrong
But you gotta see both sides you'll find yourself in jail before long

You're screaming at policemen but they're only doing a gig
You're screaming at policemen but they are only doing a gig
Gotta try and take the time to figure out how the issue got that big

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you many things before he died
Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you many things before he died
Like don't throw rocks at policemen but get the knots of law untied

Every time you're holding you are guilty of a crime
Every time you're holding you are guilty of a crime
The laws must change one day but it's going to take some time
