Break The Law Lyrics by Garnet Rogers

Garnet Rogers

[Verse 1]
I was a farmer in The Rocks, Bruce County
I was plowing when the letter came
Some bullshit banker down in Toronto
Money owns the farm, it was all the same
[Verse 2]
It was the land that I bought with my brother
We lost him years ago in Vietnam
And I believe that he died for freedom
He believed he was the chosen man
[Verse 3]
We had a meeting in the schoolhouse in Mildmay
Ian McCluskey and the Dawson boys
They all had farms, they all got letters
It was McCluskey who made all thе noise
[Chorus]
He said break thе law
Ain't nothing you can do
He said
Break the law
When the world lies to you
Break the law
Or the law breaks you
[Verse 4]
I heard their words, I was angry
I was leaning but I had my doubts
Up from the back stood old George McKenzie
He was ninety five or thereabouts
[Verse 5]
He said there weren't no lawyers, no Bay Street bankers
Stood beside me with my horse and plough
And I'll be goddamned or even Irish
Some son of a bitch is gonna rob me now
[Chorus]
So Break the law
Ain't nothing you can do
He said
Break the law
When the world lies to you
Break the law
Before the law breaks you
[Verse 6]
Four in the morning, cattle nervous
Eleanor sleeping, she don’t understand
I've got my parker, I've got my rifle
Kitchen curtain moves, I see her hand
[Verse 7]
The sun is rising, my heart is breaking
Im in the cab warming up the truck
The door it opens, she's got her coat on
A cup of coffee with her words “good luck”
[Chorus]
She says break the law
Ain't nothing you can do
She said
Break the law
When the world lies to you
Break the law
Before the law breaks you
