The Power of Law . by Danny Zablishinsky . (to the tune of "The Power of Love" by Huwie Luis and The News) . The power of Law is a curious thing Makes the victims pay Makes the criminal sing Change a thug to a little white dove Less than justice -- That's the power of Law . Jails full of poor men Makes you scream: "Is this what they call 'The American dream'?!" Makes a bad one good Makes a wrong one right The power of Law will keep you home at night . (Chorus:) They grab your money -- They get the fame They kill for credit cards On subway trains. A crime's very sudden And it's cruel sometimes, But what might decieve your eyes -- It's the power of Law . First time you feel it It can make you sad Next time you feel it It can make you mad You might be glad, baby When you find A gun to shoot 'em all From behind . Some say the legal way is fair Oh, but you won't care Revenge's not new to you And with a little help from below You'll take the power of law Should you take it???? (Chorus:) It don't take bullets Don't take fame It takes your *VOTE*, man To change the game . People who rob and rape And steal Will feel nothing till they feel... They'll feel the powerful Law The new and powerful Law... . [P.S.: I believe no "powerful law" can cure the fundamental reason for crime -- social inequality. This song had been written in a "creative trans", and when I realized I really believe in a different solution, it was already too late. I submit it here, partly because I find the phenomenon of "words leading the parodist by the nose" so interesting --Danny Z.]
