Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again
Ever since the day the world first began
People been dyin' from the hands of the sinner man (help!)
We're not living by the laws of the Constitution
Somebody's got to come up with a better solution
It's your duty (your duty) to report a crime
As so soon could be your life or it could be mine
Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Hey, we gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again
Oh, I don't like the way they're robbin' and they're killin'
Young folks dying from the drugs they've been given (help!)
Why can't we live next door to one another?
Do our children have to know the meaning of trouble
Only way we're gonna ever live in peace
Is lock up the criminals, and throw away the key (oh, oh, oh)
Gotta have law and order in this land (law and order, yeah, yeah)
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Hey, we gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again
Oh yeah
Hmm, crime don't pay
Rape, robbin' and stealin'
That ain't nothin but dirty, dirty dealin'
Hmm, mm, yeah
Gotta have law and order in this land (good thing that we gotta have)
If we're ever gonna see the promised land (yeah, yeah)
Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again

Connecting the world, we're all in need

In peace in the city
So much cryin' in the streets
The dark of quitting
All my friends that I know
Are locked up in the plane, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't think you could get away
If you rob a bank today
Can I get called by the FBI?
I could tell your face don't lie
They got bloodhounds to sniff you out
No matter where you are
So, don't you think if they rob a pill
That you're gonna make it fine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
