Laying Down The Law

Performer(s): INXS; Jimmy Barnes



Yow!

I'm laying down the law
A showdown in the north land
Just a whiff of corruption
It's the tip of the iceberg

Savour it, sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shout it from the gallery
Now fine, I got to shout it out

I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year

There's no need to tell you
What I think has gone wrong
There's gray clouds on descendtion
That show, that show a silver lining

Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make it a dream that changes everything

And I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the year

No, you don't understand
Listen!
Listen to me!

Sweet blood on my razor
Is it poetry or politics
Forget about the nightmare
And make a dream that changes everything

Well, I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
To break through darkened nights
And take me through the years

I'm searching for a light
To kill my sense of fear
And break through darkened nights
And take me through the year

I'm searching for the light
To kill my sense of fear

I'm searching for the light
To save it through the years
