Gangsters

                                  Bernie Rhodes knows don't argue 



Why must you record my phone calls? 

Are you planning a bootleg LP? 

Said you've been threatened by gangsters 

Now it's you, that's threatening me 



Can't fight corruption with con tricks 

They use the law to commit crime 

And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring 

When we're living in gangster time 



Don't call me scar face 



Can't interrupt while I'm talking 

Or they'll confiscate all your guitars 

And catch 22 says if I sing the truth 

They won't make me an overnight star 



Don't offer us legal protection 

They use the law to commit crime 

I dread to think what the future will bring 

When we're living in gangster time 



Bernie Rhodes knows don't argue
