Gangsters

The Specials

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue


Why must you record my phone calls?

Are you planning a bootleg LP?

Said you've been threatened by gangsters

Now it's you, that's threatening me


Can't fight corruption with con tricks

They use the law to commit crime

And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring

When we're living in gangster time


Don't call me scar face


Can't interrupt while I'm talking

Or they'll confiscate all your guitars

and catch 22 says if I sing the truth

they won't 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 gangster time
