Maria Daines ~ Lawless

‘Lawless’ It’s gonna go hard, it’s gonna go wrong Won’t go our way, like it ain’t for too long Back to the start, ink on the walls Tears at the heart, it’s gonna go lawless And we’re so tired, yeah we had enough Down to the wire, gotta pick us back up Oh won’t back down and won’t give in Ain’t dealing the cards, ain’t making a living When it’s all too much and it’s down to the dust Gonna go lawless, lawless, lawless Can truth be the lie, just who do we believe And wrong be the right in this crazy story Built with the stones, the blood and the grit You’re breaking these bones but we’re gonna make it Times are uptight and the candle burns low Lord help us to fight under this heavy cargo The distance, the weight, it’s harder between us Tougher than fate, locked down in the rust So I’m calling your name, let love be the justice Gonna go lawless, lawless, lawless Gonna go down, rise up and repair Ain’t here alone, I know you all be there In this together, time and again Our sisters, our brothers, good men and women The debt don’t come cheap, it’s paid by the poor Harder and harder, oh we know the score Tough for the weak, gotta give more for less Work, sleep and repeat, they calling it progress Gotta find the way out, gotta fix up this mess So I’m calling you out, let love be the justice Gonna go lawless, lawless, lawless, lawless, hey Gonna go lawless, gonna go lawless, lawless So help me Lord, so help me Lord Gonna go lawless © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 11th November 2020 Our thanks to FranziskaBP for the great picture.
