Johnny Law

(Alright, whatever y'all say, a 1-2, 1-2-3-4)

Well I was cruisin' Texarkana in my Cadillac,
We were giggin' Louisiana and a comin' back,
It was startin' to get light and I was really gone,
I saw a flashin' in my mirror, he was movin' on,

(Chorus)
Hey Johnny Law, why you pickin' on me,
Hey Johnny Law, drivin' off my misery,
You got the biggest attitude I ever saw,
I bet you's wishin' I was guilty Johnny Law

Standin' by my cruiser waitin' for your friends,
Or you sidle by later, maybe haul me in
You're pushin' me around just hopin' that I'll choke
And if you get your way I'll be locked up and broke

(repeat chorus)

(yeah, go git'em yeah)
[Interlude]
(Ricky)

Well you got everything all lit up for the world to see
But you ain't found nothing so you're settin' me free
You make your money puttin' fear at those oppressed
You ain't nuthin' but a bully with a star on your chest

(repeat chorus)

Yodal lay ee, yodal oh, yodal eh

Johnny Law

(Bueno, lo que sea que digan, un 1-2, 1-2-3-4)

Cruzaba Texarkana en mi Cadillac,
Estábamos de gira por Luisiana y regresando,
Estaba empezando a amanecer y estaba realmente ido,
Vi destellos en mi espejo, se acercaba,

(Coro)
Oye Johnny Law, ¿por qué te ensañas conmigo?,
Oye Johnny Law, conduciendo mi miseria,
Tienes la peor actitud que he visto,
Apuesto a que deseas que sea culpable, Johnny Law

Parado junto a mi patrulla esperando a tus amigos,
O te acercas más tarde, tal vez me arrestes,
Me estás empujando esperando que me equivoque,
Y si consigues lo que quieres, estaré encerrado y arruinado

(repetir coro)

(sí, ve por ellos sí)
[Interludio]
(Ricky)

Tienes todo iluminado para que el mundo vea,
Pero no has encontrado nada, así que me dejas libre,
Ganas dinero infundiendo miedo en los oprimidos,
No eres más que un matón con una estrella en el pecho

(repetir coro)

Yodal lay ee, yodal oh, yodal eh
