I Am The Law!

INTRO

Instrumental

(SPOKEN WORD)

Attention citizens!

Sector 4 is under lockdown.

Crime is a disease.

And I... am the cure.

Drop your weapons. You have two seconds to comply.

...

Yeah. Let’s ride.

Verse 1

Mega-City One, concrete jungle of sin

Mutants in the shadows, let the chaos begin

Radiation leaking, block wars flaring

Nobody’s safe, but these punks keep daring

Juice heads tweaking, perps on the run

Thinking they can hide from the barrel of a gun

Sirens in the sky, artificial light

The Justice Department owns the damn night

Helmet on my head, never show my face

I am the law in this wretched place

Got the Lawmaster roaring, wheels on fire

Burning out the filth of a dying empire

You want freedom? You get tyranny’s fist

Cross the red line, and you cease to exist!

Chorus

I AM THE LAW! (Drop the hammer down!)

Clear out the streets, take back the town!

Judge, Jury, Executioner—pick your fate

Walking through the gates of the ultimate state!

I AM THE LAW! (Hear the sirens scream!)

Waking up your nightmares, shattering the dream!

No remorse, no pity, no second chance

Welcome to the brutal metropolis dance!

Interlude

Verse 2

Cursed Earth wasteland sitting at the gate

Judges in the citadel deciding your fate

Three strikes? Nah, brother, strike one you’re done

Incendiary rounds blotting out the sun

Day-stick cracking skulls, riot shields up

Drinking bitter tears from a broken-down cup

Perp-wagon rolling, pack 'em in tight

Iso-Cubes waiting for the rest of your life

You cry corruption? You scream for your rights?

Look at the carnage in the neon lights!

Without my boot on the throat of the beast

The wolves would devour the innocent feast

So I don't negotiate, I don't debate

I just enforce the eternal decree of the State!

Instrumental

Chorus

I AM THE LAW! (Drop the hammer down!)

Clear out the streets, take back the town!

Judge, Jury, Executioner—pick your fate

Walking through the gates of the ultimate state!

I AM THE LAW! (Hear the sirens scream!)

Waking up your nightmares, shattering the dream!

No remorse, no pity, no second chance

Welcome to the brutal metropolis dance!

Bridge

Guilty..., (Guilty!)

Guilty..., (Guilty!)

You broke the code.

You walked the road.

Now pay the toll.

...

Target locked.

Sentence passed.

And justice... comes fast.

(HOT SHOT)

Verse 3

Fast-acting justice, no time for a trial

Been laying down the law for a solid long while

Mega-City’s bleeding, but the helmet stays on

From the dark of the midnight straight to the dawn

Ain't looking for glory, ain't looking for praise

Just walking the beat through the atomic haze

So test me if you want to, punk, make your move

I’ve got a thousand different ways to improve your groove!

Breakdown

Chorus

I AM THE LAW! (Drop the hammer down!)

Clear out the streets, take back the town!

Judge, Jury, Executioner—pick your fate

Walking through the gates of the ultimate state!

I AM THE LAW! (Hear the sirens scream!)

Waking up your nightmares, shattering the dream!

No remorse, no pity, no second chance

Welcome to the brutal metropolis dance!

Outro

Case closed.

Move along, citizen.

AYE...

AM...

THE LAW!
