Stiff Little Fingers - Law And Order lyrics

Verybody's down in the centre of town

Doing nothing wrong we're only hangin' around

They put you up against the wall

Make loud mouthed jokes just to make you feel small

Laugh at your appearance and the clothes you wear

Call that justice just isn't fair

Talking bout their law and order

They don't do what they ought to

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

Talking bout their law and order

They don't do what they ought to

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

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

Just another number you ain't got a name

Just a little punk y'know they don't care

Call that justice just isn't fair

Talking bout their law and order

They don't do what they ought to

Law and order

There's no justice in it

None!
