Law man


(G. Slick)

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time
my old man's gun has never been fired
but there's a first time & this could be
this could be the first time

Law man
you know you look to be a lot younger than me and
I'd hate to shoot a baby
you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow
and it could be
it could be a good time if you change your mind
well I'm tired and sweet from making love
and it's just too late
you'll have to wait
bring your business around here in the morning

well I've heard your line
& you've heard mine
& I'm just too tired to take a side
bring your business around here in the morning
Don't you want to be easy look there
let some of the things you see go on by or
you can burn them into your brain go on home
Don't you see the children, they're just like you
they want everything to be fine but they let it slide
and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules

Law breaker you know it could be me
& if you had your way we'd all be down
under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound
& you can see now the old hands won't move around
one way or the other,
fool card brother this could be,
this could be, the first time.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LAW MAN of JEFFERSON AIRPLANE is also present in the album Bark (1971)

Biografia

Jefferson Airplane is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1965. Considered one of the cornerstones of the psychedelic movement of the 1960s, they significantly contributed to the music and cultural climate of the Summer of Love. Their most famous album, *Surrealistic Pillow* (1967), features the hit single «Somebody to Love», which launched them onto the national stage. Other representative tracks include «White Rabbit» and «Volunteers». The band was characterized by an innovative sound that blended psychedelic rock, folk, and blues, with lyrics often inspired by social and spiritual themes. Among the most notable members are Grace Slick (vocals), Marty Balin (vocals) and Jorma Kaukonen (guitar). After a series of successes in the 1960s, the band went through periods of crisis and lineup changes, until its dissolution in 1972. Over the years, Jefferson Airplane has been recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock history.
