Stiff Little Fingers - Law and Order Lyrics

Hup!

Everybody's down in the centre of town
You're doing nothing wrong we're only hangin' around
They put you up against the wall
Make loudmouthed jokes just to make you feel small
Laugh at your appearance and the clothes you wear
Call that justice, just isn't fair

I'm talking bout their law and order
They don't do what they oughta
Law and order
There's no justice in it, none

I had a friend who was lifted by the law
Lifted and shifted and dumped on the floor
They treated him like shit
Kicked him in the head and then laughed when he bled
Spat in his face and pulled his hair
Call that justice just isn't fair

I'm talking bout their law and order
They don't do what they oughta
Law and order
There's no justice in it, none

I'm not trying to say we're always right
No-one's saying that it's black and white
All I'm saying is we don't agree
I don't think like you, don't think like me, I hope you never do

Yeah!

And that's the way they try and run this land
How they hold you down and keep you in hand
You're just a pawn in their game
You're just another number, you ain't got a name
You're just a little punk y'know, they don't care
Call that justice just isn't fair

I'm talking bout their law and order
They don't do what they oughta
Law and order
There's no justice in that
Law and order
They don't do what they oughta
Law and order
There's no justice in their law and order
They don't do what they oughta
Law and order
There's no justice in it, no
The justice is all gone, it's all gone!
