The Specials Gangsters Lyrics

Spoken: " Bernie Rhodes,knows don't argue."

Why must you record my phone calls ?
Are you planning a bootleg L.P ?
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 ?
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster times.

"Don't call me Scarface !"

Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
A 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 times.
"Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue."
