Now let me tell you about a man named John Law Heis a neighborhood cop the toughest man I ever saw A man who knows his duty, a man with a gun To the people in the neighborhood John Law is number one Freeze, we said Stop His name was John Law For John Law, Neighborhood cop A man we know and love When John Laws not Kickin Ass on robbers and rapist Heis helpin little kids deliver newspapers When John Laws not chasin crackheads from their perch Hes helpin old ladys on their way to church Freeze, we said Stop His name was John Law For John Law, Neighborhood cop A man we know and love He walks the Beat Riding scumbags from the streets He turns his eye to petty crime Cause John Law will never drop a dime Suburban Anarchists whoive never broke the law Sing about police oppression, but theyive never met John Law He doesnit fuck with young kids drinking in the Park But he makes the city safe for women after dark.
