Lyrics:

Where the winds of change were blowing

There lived a God-fearing man

He was turning through his Bible, when he came up with a plan

He painted up a sign and held it high above his head

Waived it proudly in the air and this is what it read

You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules

They keep things safe here for everyone

The Sinners, Saints and Fools

To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid

You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made

To the weary desperate souls who washed up on the sand

He said we haven’t seen your paperwork and he withdrew his hand

You know he never felt any safer or the peace he hoped he’d find

And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind

You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules

We gotta keep things safe here for everyone

The Sinners, Saints and Fools

To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid

You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made

By the time he got to heaven it was surrounded by a wall

The pearly gates were locked up tight the golden chains and all

They said we cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore

You didn’t do it by the book and then they pointed to the floor

You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules

They keep things safe here for everyone

You Sinners, Saints and Fools

To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid

You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made
