Laying Down The Law by Cloven Hoof Lyrics
I guard these sleazy streets
From gambling joint to speakeasy
No back alley hoodlum is gonna muscle in on my territory
The gangster and machine gun is public enemy number one
In Chicago where the innocent pay protection to stay free
Well nobody gets hurt
If he walks the straight and narrow
Bend the arrow out of line
And you have to reckon with me
Cause I'm laying down
Laying down the law
I'm laying down
Laying down the law
Behind every street corner
There's vermin crawling out of the woodwork
Some low down punk with a shot gun
Itchin to fill ya full of lead
Wine, Women and bootleg whiskey
Threatens the basis of society
Side walks are paved with blood
Who couldn't keep their head
Sin city never sleeps
You better learn to
Pull no punches
Eyes to the rear
Cause down here...
They play for keeps
You say I'm dreaming
To believe in a better way
For this rat trap we call home
I'm the enforcer
Making sure that crime don't pay...
And I'm not alone!
From gambling joint to speakeasy
No back alley hoodlum is gonna muscle in on my territory
The gangster and machine gun is public enemy number one
In Chicago where the innocent pay protection to stay free
Well nobody gets hurt
If he walks the straight and narrow
Bend the arrow out of line
And you have to reckon with me
Cause I'm laying down
Laying down the law
I'm laying down
Laying down the law
Behind every street corner
There's vermin crawling out of the woodwork
Some low down punk with a shot gun
Itchin to fill ya full of lead
Wine, Women and bootleg whiskey
Threatens the basis of society
Side walks are paved with blood
Who couldn't keep their head
Sin city never sleeps
You better learn to
Pull no punches
Eyes to the rear
Cause down here...
They play for keeps
You say I'm dreaming
To believe in a better way
For this rat trap we call home
I'm the enforcer
Making sure that crime don't pay...
And I'm not alone!
