(originally recorded by the Specials)
|
performed live by No Doubt
|
|
Why must you record my phone calls
|
Are you planning a bootleg LP
|
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
|
Now it's you that's threatening me
|
|
Can't fight corruption with con tricks.
|
The youth, they love to commit crime
|
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
|
When we're living in gangster times
|
Don't call me skaface...
|
|
Don't interrupt while I'm talking
|
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
|
A catch-22 says if I sing a tune
|
They will make me an overnight star
|
|
Don't offer us legal protection
|
They use the law to commit crime.
|
I dread to think what the future will bring
|
When we're living in real gangster times.
