Lyrics

You have sentenced me to death I accept your decision I must hang by the neck 'til I am dead For nothing could be worse than a lifetime in your prison So take my life instead You accuse me of treason I have meant what I have said And now I have nothing to fear And yes, I have been in the forest of the King Stealing the royal deer Well, this man, your King, stays up there in London Laughing and gorging food and wine Obsessing with taxation He's bringing down this nation And flaunting his concubine And what of his people? Does he know that you are starving? Can he hear you when you call? No, he cares no more for you than for dogs down in the gutter He will regret this day So I stand here before you and face my execution At the hands of this tyrant today You cannot live in hunger, the law will not support you So listen to me when I say Break the law, break the law Go into the forest Take what should be yours Break the law, break the law The King wants all your money So don't give him any more Break the law, break the law It only helps the rich and strong You should be where you belong Shout it loud when I have gone Break the law (break the law) Break the law (break the law) Break the law (break the law) Break the law Break the law
