Bernie Rhodes,know’s don't argue. <br />Why must you record my phone calls? <br />Are you planning a bootleg L.P? <br />Said you've been threatened by gangsters <br />Now it's you that’s threatening me. <br /><br />Can't fight corruption with con tricks <br />They use the law to commit crime? <br />I dread, dread to think what the future will bring <br />When we’re living in gangster times. <br /><br />"Don't call me Scarface!" <br /><br />Don't interrupt while I'm talking <br />Or they'll confiscate all your guitars. <br />A catch - 22 says if I sing the truth <br />They won't make me an overnight star. <br /><br />Don't offer us legal protection <br />They use the law to commit crime. <br />I dread to think what the future will bring <br />When we're living in real gangster times. <br />"Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue.
