Song — The Law Don’t Hold
[Verse 1]
The judge spoke clear, the gavel fell,
But the man just laughed and wished ‘em well.
Said, “Laws ain’t chains, they’re made to bend,”
And the fight goes on again, my friend.
[Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light.
[Verse 2]
They froze the funds, they took the land,
They wrote new rules with a shaking hand.
The courts said, “No,” but the doors stayed shut,
And the watchdogs howled, but they wouldn’t cut.
[Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light.
[Bridge]
Some men get prison, some men get gold,
Some men get power that never grows old.
And when the balance starts to sway,
Will the people rise or look away?
[Verse 3]
They talk of courts, they talk of right,
But rules don’t stand in the firelight.
If a king can break what a people made,
Then a people rise to take it away.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, the law don’t hold, the law don’t bind,
When the king walks free and justice is blind.
They steal by day, they lie by night,
But the truth still flickers in the dying light. Continue reading
