The Temptations - Law Of The Land lyrics

Law of the land

Some people are always heaven made

Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days

Time marches on

Yesterday is better than tomorrow

Life is uncertain, let me hear you say 'yeah'

That is that, oh yes it is

There'll be days of sunshine and laughter

But don't forget you will have to shed some tears - oho

It's the law of the land - my brother - oh

Whether you like it or you'll understand - ah hey hey

It's the law of the land - hey hey hey hey

'Cause made by almighty men

Live by the good book if you're able

You must play your cards on top of the table

When you gather you either win or lose

In life's ev'rybody's got to pay some dues - well

It's the law of the land - well well well

Whether you'll like it or you'll understand - you can't change it

It's the law of the land - ah-how

'Cause made by almighty men - oh hey

Hey, it's the law, the law of the land

Whether you'll like it or you'll understand

It's the law, the law of the land

'Cause made by almighty men

A teacher man can't be found

Until you find yourself - think about it

You might not like being, well you ought, but you'd better start like it

But you sure can't be nobody else

In other words: I can't be you - ain't no quit, yeah - you can't be me

Well well, that's all with you, my sister an' brother

And that's the way that good life meant to be - hey-ho

It's the law of the land - well

Whether you like it or you'll understand - say say

It's the law of the land - hey yeah oh

'Cause made by almighty men

Look at here

The tools of a ????man's day has got him by corrupt????

For your own protection your Gods you must love

What goes around comes around

And what goes up, yeah, must come down - aha

It's the law of the land - well well well well

Whether you like it or you'll understand

It's the law of the land - well well well

'Cause made by almighty men - aha

It's the law of the land - ev'rybody else say

Whether you like it or you'll understand ...
