I'm for law and order, the way that it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called this outlaw, in some ol' magazine
New York sent a posse down like I ain't never seen

Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand

We were wrapped up in our music, that's why we never saw,
The cars pull up, the boys get out and the room fill up with law
They came pounding through the back door in the middle of the song
They got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone

Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit has done got out of hand

Don't you think this outlaw bit has done got out of hand, out of hand?
