no laws gonna keep me in order
fuck shit up and cause disorder
that's the way it's gotta be
rob, steal, and cheat to win
cloth patches and safety pins
that's the way it's gotta be
that's the way it's gotta be
dry your tears of sympathy
that's the way it's gotta be [2x]
fake phony to your face
leaving without a trace
that's the way it's gotta be
hit and run, a rich prick
beat him down now with a stick
that's the way it's gotta be!
