Lyrics

Breaking the Law (Live in Holland 1981)

[Spoken]

Breaking (the Law) the Law

[Verse 1]

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down

All inside, it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town

Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die

So I might as well begin to put some action in my life

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

[Verse 2]

So much for the golden future, I can't even start

I've had every promise broken, therе's anger in my heart

You don't know what it's like, you don't havе a clue

If you did, you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

[Bridge]

You don't know what it's like

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law, breaking the law
