Break the Law! Lyrics by Chris De Burgh

The Legend of Robin Hood

2021

You have sentenced me to death, I accept your decision
I must hang by the neck till 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
While this man, your King, stays up there in London
Laughing and gorging food and wine
Obsessing with taxation, he's bring down this nation
And flaunting his concubine!
And what of his people, doеs he know that you are starving
Can he hеar you when you call? No!
He cares no more for you than the 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 anymore
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!!
