Lyrics Break the Law! - Chris de Burgh

You have sentenced me to death
I accept your decision
I must hang by the neck 'til I am dead
For nothing could be worse than a lifetime in your prison
So take my life instead
You accuse me of treason
I have meant what I have said
And now I have nothing to fear
And yes, I have been in the forest of the King
Stealing the royal deer
Well, this man, your King, stays up there in London
Laughing and gorging food and wine
Obsessing with taxation
He's bringing down this nation
And flaunting his concubine
And what of his people?
Does he know that you are starving?
Can he hear you when you call?
No, he cares no more for you than for dogs down in the gutter
He will regret this day
So I stand here before you and face my execution
At the hands of this tyrant today
You cannot live in hunger, the law will not support you
So listen to me when I say
Break the law, break the law
Go into the forest
Take what should be yours
Break the law, break the law
The King wants all your money
So don't give him any more
Break the law, break the law
It only helps the rich and strong
You should be where you belong
Shout it loud when I have gone
Break the law (break the law)
Break the law (break the law)
Break the law (break the law)
Break the law
Break the law
