The time must surely come   For the laws to fit the times   The time must surely come   For the laws to fit the times   But while the law is standing   You've got to open up your minds      It seems to be the fashion   To say you're right and they are wrong   It seems to be the fashion   To say you're right and they are wrong   But if you don't see both sides   You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long      You're screaming at policemen   But they're only doing a gig   You're screaming at policemen   But they're only doing a gig   Try and take the time   To figure out how the issue got that big      Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you   Many things before he died   Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you   Many things before he died   Like don't throw rocks at policemen   But get the knots of law untied      Every time you're holding   You are guilty of a crime   Every time you're holding   You are guilty of a crime   The laws must change one day   But it's going to take some time
