Sedition Law

歌詞

Believe, I warning the rich an' poor, be careful friends today from this seditious law Believe, I warning the rich an' poor, be careful friends today from this seditious law If you talk without defense, you have no evidence They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk A fellow was charged for that offense An' his lawyer couldn't break down the evidence Because the jurors' decision that he was guilty But the Judge really acted with sympathy I mean by givin' him two years in custody I 'gree with any man who speakin' for their rights But you cannot say everything what you like There's certain lhlngs would affect the authority Who was the strength and the force in this colony An' when you get the blow, in the jail you'll walk You wants to be versed in politics I mean you got to be cocky with a lot of tricks Firs' you got to use a little diplomacy Mix up with common sense and psychology And when you get the blow, not only talk They mean to licen' we foot, they don' wan' we walk They mean to licen' we foot, they don' wan' we walk They mean to licen' we foot, they don' wan' we walk Politics improving our native lan' We lectured and preached by women and men But you gotta know friends, what you talking about And you're sure to pay darn dear for your mouth So if you know you can't use the knife and fork They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk They mean to license me mouth, they don' wan' we talk
