Some people will always have it madeSome people will live in poverty for the rest of their daysTime marches onYesterday is dead and goneLife is uncertain, let me hear you say “Yeah”Death is final, yes it isThere’ll be days of sunshine and laughterBut don’t forget you’re gonna have to shed some tears, ohIt’s the law of the land, my brother, ohWhether you like it or you understandIt’s the law of the landLaws made by almighty manLive by The Good Book, if you’re ableYou must play your cards on top of the tableWhen you gamble, you either win or loseIn life everybody’s got to pay some dues, wellIt’s the law of the landWhether you like it or you understand, you can’t change itIt’s the law of the landLaws made by almighty manHey, it’s the law, the law of the landWhether you like it or you understandIt’s the law, the law of the land
