Songtexte Law of the Land (Alternate Mix) - The Temptations

Some people are always heaven made
Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days
Time marches on

Yesterday is better than tomorrow
Life is uncertain, let me hear you say "yeah"
That is that, oh yes it is
There′ll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears, oh

It′s the law of the land, my brother, oh
Whether you like it or you'll understand, ah hey, hey
It's the law of the land, hey, hey, hey, hey
Laws made by almighty men

Live by the good book if you′re able
You must play your cards on top of the table
When you gather you either win or lose
In life′s everybody's got to pay some dues, well

It′s the law of the land, well, well, well
Whether you'll like it or you′ll understand, you can't change it
It′s the law of the land
Laws made by almighty men, oh hey

Oh, it's the law, the law of the land
Whether you'll like it or you′ll understand
It′s the law, the law of the land
Laws made by almighty men

A teacher man can't be found
Until you find yourself, think about it
You might not like being who you are
But you′d better start like it
But you sure can't be nobody else

In other words, I can′t be you, ain't no quit, yeah
You can′t be me
Well well, that's how it is, my sister an' brother
And that′s the way the good life meant to be, oh

It′s the law of the land, well
Whether you like it or you'll understand, say, say
It′s the law of the land, hey, yeah
Laws made by almighty men
Look at here

The course of a man's day is governed by a thought
For your own protection, your Gods you must love
What goes around comes around

And what goes up, yeah, must come down, aha
It′s the law of the land, well, well, well, well
Whether you like it or you understand (everybody sing along with me)
It's the law of the land, well, well, well
Laws made by almighty men, aha

It′s the law of the land, everybody help me sing
Whether you like it or you'll understand
