Jurisdiction
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.
Our clean-cut leaders
In dirty money they deal
Transactions undercover
They bribe, divert and steal
Industry bosses
And the political class
Scratching each others back and
Kissing each other's ass for cash
Where do you see a just society
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
They can do it in your face
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
When the're in a higher place
Who said we're equal?
Laws only goverb the slobs
No one goes after those who
Do the white collar jobs
For tax evasion
A fine you maybe will pay
But as a demonstrator
They will look you away for sure
Equality is just a fantasy
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
They can do it in your face
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
When the're in a higher place
Crime and punishment?
The law is sacred
It makes most people behave
But if you have the power
You make the law your slave
There is no justice
That's what the proverb says
The small ones always get caught
The big ones always get away
Where do you see a just society?
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
They can do it in your face
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
When the're in a higher place
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
They can do it in your face
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
When the're in a higher place
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
They can do it in your face
Fuck the law! Fuck the law!
When the're in a higher place
