Lyrics of Against the Law by Billy Bragg
verse
It's against the law to walk, it's against the law to talk
It's against the law to loaf, it's against the law to work
It's against the law to read, it's against the law to write
It's against the law to be black or brown or white
chorus
Everything's against the law
I'm a low pay daddy singing the high price blues
verse
It's against the law to eat, it's against the law to drink
It's against the law to worry, it's against the law to think
It's against the law to marry or try to settle down
It's against the law to ramble like a bum from town to town
chorus
Everything's against the law
I'm a low pay daddy singing the high price blues
verse
It's against the law to come, it's against the law to go
It's against the law to ride, it's against the law to roll
It's against the law to hug, it's against the law to kiss
It's against the law to shoot, it's against the law to miss
chorus
Everything's against the law
I'm a low pay daddy singing the high price blues
verse
It's against the law to gamble, it's against the law to roam
It's against the law to organize, try to build a home
It's against the law to sing, it's against the law to dance
It's against the law to tell you all the trouble on my hands
chorus
Everything in Winston-Salem is against the law
I'm a low pay daddy singing the high price blues
Writer(s): Woody Guthrie, Stephen William Bragg
