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
when we're living in gangster time
Junta a la corrupcion, junta a todo babylon
junta toda la violencia y discriminación
junta el separatismo, junta todo este optimismo
junta todo lo que frena contra el capitalismo
las gotas de sangre por los que se derraman
y todas las victimas con quien se proclaman
aca los gangsters no nos van a parar
aca los gangsters no nos van a ganar
aca los gangsters no nos van a parar
aca los gangsters no nos can a parar
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.
