Jimmy Barnes - Laying Down The Law Lyrics






I'm laying down the law
Showdown in the northland
Just the whiff of corruption
Is the tip of the iceberg

Savor and sweet liberty
And there's trouble from the south
Shouting from the gallery
Now I find I've got to shut it out

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

There's no need to tell you
What I think has gone wrong
There's grey clouds of dissension
Let it show, let it show a silver lining

Sweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everything

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

Sweet blood on the razor
Is it poetry or politics?
Forget about the nightmare
I'll make it a dream that changes everything

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

    I love The Lost Boys film, I still watch it, and I often play this song in my iTunes library on iPod. Kinda makes me think more about the passing of Brooke McCarter. Though it's been at least 3 years now, it's still so sad! Respect to TLB, and R.I.P. Brooke!

    I'm laying down the law, showdown in the northland
    Just a whiff of corruption, it's the tip of the iceberg
    Savoring sweet liberty in a shovel from the south,
    Shouting from the gallery,
    Now I find I got to shut it out

    Chorus:
    I'm searching for a light to kill my sense of fear
    And brave through darkened nights and take me through the years

    There's no need to tell you what I think has gone wrong
    Those gray clouds are dissension that show, that show that silver lining
    Sweet blood on the razor, is it poetry or politics?
    Forget about the nightmare and make it a dream that changes everything

    Chorus

    No you don't understand
    Listen... to me

    Sweet blood on the razor, is it poetry or politics?
    Forget about the nightmare, and make a dream that changes everything

    Chorus
