Billy Bragg, Wilco, Corey Harris - Aginst the Law lyrics

It's against the law to walk
Against the law to talk
Against the law to loaf
Against the law to work
Against the law to read
Against the law to write
Against the law to be a black, a brown
Or white

Everything's against the law
I'm a low pay daddy
Singing the high-price blues

It's against the law to eat
Against the law to drink
Against the law to worry
Against the law to think
Against the law to marry or
Try to settle down
Against the law to ramble like a
Bum from town to town

It's against the law to come
Against the law to go
Against the law to ride
Against the law to roll
Against the law to hug and
Against the law to kiss
Against the law to shoot
Against the law to miss

It's against the law to gamble
Against the law to roam
Against the law to organize or
Try to build a home against the law to sing
It's against the law to dance
Against the law to tell you all
The trouble on my hands

Everything in Winston-Salem is
Against the law i'm a low pay daddy
Singing the high-price blues
