Kristofferson Kris - Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk someone said he stumbled and he fell

Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see

We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton scaring decent folks like you and me no siree

Homar Lee was nothing but a hippie walkin' through this world without a care

Then one day six scrapping brave policemen held down Homar Lee and cut his hair

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see

We don't need no hairy headed hippies scaring decent folks like you and me no siree

Oh so thank your lucky stars we've got protection

Walk the line and never mind the cost

And no wonder who them lawmen were protecting

When they nailed the Saviour to the cross

Cause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can see

We don't need no little speaking prophets

Scaring decent folks like you and me no siree
