Lyrics

30 years of getting up from bed 30 years he's punctual at work
Dirty years in a dark factory 30 years in trouble day by day
He's a victim of his time -
He's got to carry it out
He never did something wrong
In the morning hear the chairman say
Too old to work -
Go your own way
The final act -
Release out of life
Too old to live - too young to die
The situation of this man -
The situation ain't new
The little are to blame -
The big are not to
Down - Down, down by law -
Down by law...
Chanceless search - responsibility
Antisocial - outlaws of society
His mind is changing - from white to black
One decision -
There ain't no way back
He's a victim of his time -
He's got to carry it out
He never did something wrong
Down - Down, down by law -
Down by law...
No doubt about it - looking for revenge
Blow up the walls -
The walls of forgotten names [Solo]
The end of the story -
They caught him like a thief
No one who supports him -
No one would believe
He is down -
Down by law...
For years sent to prison -
To live in daily fear
But the men of justice -
Released him after years
He is down -
Down by law...
His sincered pride was broken -
Not to be repaired
The rumour of justice -
Destroy it everywhere
He is down -
Down by law...
His wife and children down on their knees
At school they say:
Children of the beast
No way out -
Out of misery
Only dreaming -
The dream of harmony
The situation of this man -
The situation ain't new
The little are to blame -
The big are not to
Down - Down, down by law -
Down by law...
