Lyrics Gangsters

Why must you record my phone calls
Are you planning a bootleg L.P
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks
They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time
Can't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate
All your guitars
And Catch twenty-two says if I sing the truth
They won't make me an overnight star
Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster time
