Songs from the Crypt :: Law of the Fools

Ain’t justice doing time for having a good time
What motherfucker wrote the book on what’s a crime?
Sometime they’ll get you for breaking their rules
Even if that’s just a wrong answer in school
.... it’s the Law of the Fools

Cops spoil your face with the chemical mace
Cause you don’t wanna be no part of the inhuman race
They’ll hound you and wound you and run you in
They’ll even end your life in a sardine bin
.... it’s the Law of the Fools

You been fucked all life, someone fucks you soon
Someday under the shower you will taste the goon
When yer bleedin down the john is that the fee
It costs to pay your debts to society?
.... it’s the Law of the Fools

Some guy in the block will sell you horse
First time it’s good but will only make it worse
Till you don’t give a damn about nothing at all
And throw burning toilet paper down the hall
.... it’s the Law of the Fools
