Down By Law
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
30 years he's punctual at work
Dirty years in a dark factory
30 years in trouble day by day
He's a victim of his time - he's got to carry it out
He never did something wrong
In the morning hear the chairman say
Too old to work - go your own way
The final act - release out of life
Too old to live - too young to die
The situation of this man - the situation ain't new
The little are to blame - the big are not to
Down - down, down by law - down by law...
Chanceless search - responsibility
Antisocial - outlaws of society
His mind is changing - from white to black
One decision - there ain't no way back
He's a victim of his time - he's got to carry it out
He never did something wrong
Down - down, down by law - down by law...
No doubt about it - looking for revenge
Blow up the walls - the walls of forgotten names
Solo
The end of the story - they caught him like a thief
No one who supports him - no one would believe
He is down - down by law...
For years sent to prison - to live in daily fear
But the men of justice - released him after years
He is down - down by law...
His sincered pride was broken - not to be repaired
The rumour of justice - destroy it everywhere
He is down - down by law...
His wife and children down on their knees
At school they say: children of the beast
No way out - out of misery
Only dreaming - the dream of harmony
The situation of this man - the situation ain't new
The little are to blame - the big are not to
Down - down, down by law - down by law...
