Obey All The Laws
(The Caravanraysian National Anthem)

- The Caravanraysian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the Right Honourable Minister of Noise

I make the laws
I pass the laws
I administer the laws
I enforce the laws
I will judge the laws
You must obey the laws
Cos if you don't, if you don't
Then the terrorists win
The terrorists win
The terrorists they hate our freedom
You must obey all laws
Or the terrorists win

If you separate the powers of the government, then the terrorists win
If public servants can't imprison children without trial, then the terrorists win
You know a little bit of torture never hurt anyone, we must maintain our freedom
Don't let the terrorists win
If we can't invade who the hell we want when we want, then the terrorists win
If you insist on fair judicial process for all, then the terrorists win
Don't let the terrorists win
Don't let the terrorists win

Obey all the laws by Kamakura

Everybody needs to
Everybody wants to lead their life – the way they want
Everybody needs to
Everybody wants to lead their life – without control

So you know you must obey
And know you should obey
Though you know you can’t obey - all the laws

I can’t covet my neighbour’s ass
I can’t commit adultery
No craven images of
Britney Spears in my lavatory
I can’t steal that paperclip
Watch TV on the Sabbath day
I can’t murder anyone
Unless they’ve pissed me off or called me grey

[God’s interlude]

Obey All the Laws by Jay String

Security all night all day, the king of all that I survey -
Cracked estates and broken streets, the weirdos, goons and ASBO freaks.
I see you, you don’t see me, a single eye, CCTV.
Metal box, a hundred screens: I watch you cross into my dream.

(Obey all laws, obey all laws -
Everybody wants to play but not today;
You must obey all laws)

Camera tracks you beat by beat, but I can’t speak, we’ll never meet.
Tinted windows, bomb-proof glass can’t stop your shadow gliding past
Keep an eye on all you do - who watches watchmen watching you?
Heart is safe but sorry too - a jailer jailed by love for you

Abuse of trust but still I lust (Obey all laws)
Consequence is no defence (Obey all laws)
Everybody wants to play but not today;
You must obey (all laws) Love is war
(Obey all laws) All the laws!

Obey All the Laws - Bell Green

Tell me why, I shouldn't kill.
Tell me why, I shouldn't steal.
Tell me why I should always tell the truth and never lie?
And wave intoxicating substances goodbye.

What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
If I obey all the laws they decree.

Tell me who, makes the rules.
Tell me who, makes the schools.
Tell me who would fool me into thinking like they do?
And take away my freedom to choose.

What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
If I obey all the laws they decree.

I could be a model citizen conventional and blind
I could be a social prisoner whose dreams are left behind.

What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
If I obey all the laws they decree.

If I obey all the laws they decree.
If I obey all the laws they decree.

Obey All the Laws (Henrietta)

I wake up in a long bright hall
Pounding head, I can't remember at all
See a guilded sign on a plastered wall
Seven languages, and it says "Obey All the Laws"

I look down at a long white dress,
Angel wings, but my face is a mess
It appears I am here on business
Gonna go down below if I don't obey all the laws.

I can't help my self-destruction
Laughing in the face of devine introduction
Bad habits of non-compliance
I can't even break for Christ's sake.

They sing in choir; I'm spitting spitballs
They fly with seraphim; I'm graffitiing walls
My delinquency didn't last too long
Peter said "What you done that for?"
And I say "Just because".

I look down at a tall black boot.
My skeptic says "Damn, there's living proof."
God says "Lord, Child, what's got into you?
Why can't you behave yourself?"
And I say "Just because."

I can't help my self-destruction
Laughing in the face of devine introduction
Bad habits of non-compliance
I can't even break when face to face with you.

So, you want to push me down,
You want to kick me out,
Is that what my life is all about?
So, I'm already dead,
I can't be afraid to say I'm sorry.
Sorry, but...

I can't help my self-destruction
Laughing in the face of devine introduction
Bad habits of non-compliance
I can't even break for Christ's sake.

I wake up.
