Laws Must Change Lyrics - The Turning Point - John Mayall

The time must surely come 

For the laws to fit the times 

The time must surely come 

For the laws to fit the times 

But while the law is standing 

You gotta open up your minds 

It seems to be the fashion 

To say you're right and they are wrong 

It seems to be the fashion 

To say you're right and they are wrong 

But you gotta see both sides 

You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long 

You're screamin' at policemen 

But they're only doin' a gig 

You're screamin' at policemen 

But they are only doin' a gig 

Gotta try and take the time 

To figure out how the issue got that big 

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you 

Many things before he died 

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you 

Many things before he died 

Don't throw rocks at policemen 

But get the knots of law untied 

Every time you're holdin' 

You are guilty of a crime 

Every time you're holdin' 

You are guilty of a crime 

The laws must change one day 

But it's goin' to take some time
