They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh
They've got the force, we've got the cause
Locked up in a cage, by design
They would leave you where you lie
Reaching out, wanting more
Never getting higher
Someday you'll take it all
Someday they already know
It's just the last straw
Even as it offers dollars to damn us
'Cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh
They've got the force, we've got the cause
Time standing still on a whim
It's the winning side that kills
Preaching doubt with a grin
'Til you're getting tired
Someday you'll even scores
Someday they already know
It's just above us
Even as it offers dollars to damn us
'Cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh
They've got the force, we've got the cause
When you're in the middle of doubt
Insensitivity can keep you from finding the way out
You hear a call, listen to the tenor surrounding the fragility
Just remember you are not alone
Living on the outside, caught up in the landslide
Calling all you wild ones down out by the wayside
Leaving every tongue tied, dizzy as they deny
Dollars won't damn us, cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and (we've got the cause)
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh (we've got the cause)
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, and (we've got the cause)
They've got the force, we've got the cause
They've got the law, they've got the boots, oh (we've got the cause)
They've got the force, we've got the cause
We've got the cause
