(originally recorded by the Specials) performed live by No Doubt Why must you record my phone calls Are you planning a bootleg LP You said you've been threatened by gangsters Now it's you that's threatening me Can't fight corruption with con tricks. The youth, they love to commit crime I dread, dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in gangster times Don't call me skaface... Don't interrupt while I'm talking Or they'll confiscate all your guitars A catch-22 says if I sing a tune They will make me an overnight star Don't offer a single protection The youth, they love to commit crime I dread to think what the future will bring When we're living in real gangster times
