Sinners, Saints and Fools

Lyrics

Where the winds of change were blowin'
 There lived a God-fearing man
 He was turning through his Bible
 When he came up with a plan
 He painted up a sign
 And held it high above his head
 Waved it proudly in the air, and this is what it read
 You can't break the law
 There are reasons for the rules
 I keep things safe here for everyone
 The sinners, saints, and fools
 The poor and huddled masses
 Who are hungry and afraid
 You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
 No exceptions made
 To the weary, desperate souls
 Who washed up on the sand
 He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork"
 And he withdrew his hand
 You know he never felt any safer
 All the peace he hoped he'd find
 And up until the day he died
 He never changed his mind
 You can't break the law
 There are reasons for the rules
 They gotta keep it safe here for everyone
 You sinners, saints, and fools
 The poor and huddled masses
 Who are hungry and afraid
 You gotta do it by the Book or there'll be
 No exceptions made, yeah
 ♪
 By the time he got to Heaven
 It was surrounded by a wall
 The pearly gates were locked up tight
 The golden chains and all
 They said, "We cannot let just anyone
 Walk in here anymore
 You didn't do it by the Book,"
 And then they pointed to the floor
 You can't break the law
 There are reasons for the rules
 I keep things safe here for everyone
 You sinners, saints, and fools
 The poor and huddled masses
 Who are hungry and afraid
 You gotta do it by the Book and there'll be
 No exceptions made
 ♪
 No
