[00:00:00] The Law Is for Protection of the People - Bobby Bare

[00:00:08] Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk

[00:00:13] Someone said he stumbled and he fell

[00:00:18] Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue

[00:00:23] Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

[00:00:28] 'Cause the law is for protection of the people

[00:00:33] Rules're rules and any fool can see

[00:00:38] We don't need no tramps like Billy Dalton

[00:00:44] Scaring decent folks like you and me

[00:00:48] No siree

[00:00:51] Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger

[00:00:57] Showin' he had no means of support

[00:01:02] Policeman took a look at Charlie's pants cuffs

[00:01:07] Hustled Charlie Watson off to court

[00:01:12] 'Cause the law is for protection of the people

[00:01:17] Rules're rules and any fool can see

[00:01:23] We don't need no bums like Charlie Watson

[00:01:28] Scaring decent folks like you and me

[00:01:32] No siree

[00:01:36] Homer Lee was nothing but a hippie

[00:01:41] Walking through this world without a care

[00:01:46] Then one day six strapping brave policemen

[00:01:51] Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

[00:01:56] 'Cause the law is for protection of the people

[00:02:01] Rules're rules and any fool can see

[00:02:07] We don't need no hairy headed hippie

[00:02:12] Scaring decent folks like you and me

[00:02:16] No siree

[00:02:19] So thank your lucky stars you've got protection

[00:02:25] Walk the line and never mind the cost

[00:02:29] And don't wonder who them lawmen were protecting

[00:02:35] When they nailed the Saviour to the cross

[00:02:39] 'Cause the law is for protection of the people

[00:02:45] Rules're rules and any fool can see

[00:02:50] We don't need no little sneaking prophets

[00:02:55] Scaring decent folks like you and me

[00:03:00] No siree
