The Specials — Gangsters Live at Le Bataclan

[Intro] Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Can't fight corruption with con tricks They use the law to commit crime I dread, dread, to think what the future'll bring When we're living in gangster times (Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue) [Verse 2] Don't interrupt while I'm talking Or they'll confiscate all your guitars Catch 22 says if I sing the truth They won't make me an overnight star [Chorus] Don't offer us legal protection They use the law to commit crime I dread to think what the future'll bring When we're living in real gangster times (Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue) [Outro] Don't call me Scarface
