It seems to be the fashion 
To say you're right and they are wrong 
It seems to be the fashion 
To say you're right and they are wrong 
But if you don't see both sides 
You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long 

You're screaming at policemen 
But they're only doing a gig 
You're screaming at policemen 
But they're only doing a gig 
Try and take the time 
To figure out how the issue got so big

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you 
Many things before he died 
Like don't throw rocks at policemen 
But get the knots of law untied 

Every time you're holding 
You are guilty of a crime 
Every time you're holding 
You are guilty of a crime 
The laws must change one day 
But it's going to take some time
