Gangsters (2015 Remastered Version) - 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 real gangster time

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
