The Law Is For Protection Of The People- Kris Kristofferson

    Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
    Someone said he stumbled and he fell
    Six squad cars came screaming to the rescue
    Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

    'Cause the law is for protection of the people
    Rules are rules and any fool can see
    We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton
    Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

    Charlie Watson wandered like a stranger
    Showing he had no means of support
    Police man took one look at his pants cuffs
    Hustled Charlie Watson off to court.

    'Cause the law is for protection of the people
    Rules are rules and any fool can see
    We don't need no bums like Charlie Watson
    Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.

    Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy
    Walking thru this world without a care
    Then one day, six strapping brave policeman
    Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

    'Cause the law is for protection of the people
    Rules are rules and any foola can see
    We don't need no hairy headed hippies
    Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

    So thank your lucky stars you've got protection
    Walk the line, and never mind the cost
    And don't wonder who them lawmen was protecting
    When they nailed the Savior to the cross.

    'Cause the law is for protection of the people
    Rules are rules and any fool can see
    We don't need no riddle speaking prophets
    Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree.
