Lyrics:

Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again

Ever since the day the world first began
People been dyin' from the hands of the sinner man
We're not living by the laws of the Constitution
Somebody's got to come up with a better solution
It's your duty to report a crime
As it soon could be your life
or it could be mine

Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Hey we Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again

Ooh, I don't like the way they're robbin and they're killin
Young folks dying from the drugs they've been given
Why can't we live next door to one another
Do our children have to know the meaning of trouble
Only way we're gonna
ever live in peace
Is lock up the criminals, and throw 'way the key

Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Hey we Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again

Oooh yeah
Hmm, crime don't pay
Rape, robbin' and stealin'
That ain't nothin but dirty dirty dealin'
Mmmmhmmm, yeah

Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again
Gotta have law and order in this land
If we're ever gonna see the promised land
Gotta have law and order in this land
We may never get to come this way again
