Without Law

Just think what this world would be,
 If there was no law.
 We couldn't live with one another,
 In fact we couldn't live at all.

 Take away all the police,
 Out of the world tomorrow,
 And we would live in a place
 Of chaos and sorrow.

 If it wasn't for that red traffic light,
 Some cars would crash together,
 and that would be an awful sight.

 The law is on our side,
 And here to protect us,
 So if you get a ticket,
 Don't make such a fuss.

 It would be better for us,
 If we could only understand,
 That the law and police are here,
 To make safe our beloved land.
