Lyrics:
Where the winds of change were blowing
There lived a God-fearing man
He was turning through his Bible, when he came up with a plan
He painted up a sign and held it high above his head
Waived it proudly in the air and this is what it read

You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
They keep things safe here for everyone
The Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made

To the weary desperate souls who washed up on the sand
He said we haven’t seen your paperwork and he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer or the peace he hoped he’d find
And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind
You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
We gotta keep things safe here for everyone
The Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made

By the time he got to heaven it was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight the golden chains and all
They said we cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore
You didn’t do it by the book and then they pointed to the floor

You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
They keep things safe here for everyone
You Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made
