Where the winds of change were blowin'
There lived a God-fearing man
He was turning through his Bible
When he came up with a plan
He painted up a sign
And held it high above his head
Waved it proudly in the air, and this is what it read
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
The sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
No exceptions made
To the weary, desperate souls
Who washed up on the sand
He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork"
And he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer
All the peace he hoped he'd find
And up until the day he died
He never changed his mind
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
They gotta keep it safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book or there'll be
No exceptions made, yeah
By the time he got to Heaven
It was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight
The golden chains and all
They said, "We cannot let just anyone
Walk in here anymore
You didn't do it by the Book,"
And then they pointed to the floor
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
No exceptions made
No
There lived a God-fearing man
He was turning through his Bible
When he came up with a plan
He painted up a sign
And held it high above his head
Waved it proudly in the air, and this is what it read
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
The sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
No exceptions made
To the weary, desperate souls
Who washed up on the sand
He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork"
And he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer
All the peace he hoped he'd find
And up until the day he died
He never changed his mind
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
They gotta keep it safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book or there'll be
No exceptions made, yeah
By the time he got to Heaven
It was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight
The golden chains and all
They said, "We cannot let just anyone
Walk in here anymore
You didn't do it by the Book,"
And then they pointed to the floor
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
No exceptions made
No
