Laying Down The Law I'm laying down the law Showdown in the northland Just the whiff of corruption Is the tip of the iceberg Savor and sweet liberty And there's trouble from the south Shouting from the gallery Now I find I've got to shut it out I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the years There's no need to tell you What I think has gone wrong There's grey clouds of dissension Let it show, let it show a silver lining Sweet blood on the razor Is it poetry or politics? Forget about the nightmare I'll make it a dream that changes everything I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the years Sweet blood on the razor Is it poetry or politics? Forget about the nightmare I'll make it a dream that changes everything I'm searching for a light To kill my sense of fear To break through darkened nights And take me through the years
