Beat the Law

One step ahead, they're on your tail

Live or dead you're skipping bail

Over your shoulder, no time to stop

You're getting bolder watch out for a cop

A born thief on the lamb

His mother's grief, he don't give a damn

Has a rap sheet as long as my arm

An escapee from a work farm

Beat the law

Criminal on the loose

Escape the hangman's noose

Beat the law

Steal a car grand larceny

Won't get far committing a felony

On the run no place to hide

Ain't no fun, a kick in the pride

A dream team lawyer is what you need

A filthy liar to get you freed

You walk away an exonerated man

But everyday you'll be damned

Beat the law
