The Law
Museum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We differ good from bad for you
We do
We differ good from bad

We decide good and bad for you
We do
Are you on our side?

When it comes out

We know right from wrong
And we know which side we are one
It's very simple

We only have to choose which side you're on
Which side you're on
We are the good ones

There will be a law
And we'll make it
Yeah we will make it

We differ friend from foe for you
We do
We differ friend from foe

We decide friend and foe for you
We do
Are you on our side?

When it comes hard
We know right from wrong
And we know which side we're on
It's very simple

You only have to choose which side you're on
Which side you're one
We are the good ones

There will be a law
And we'll make it
Yeah we will make it

There will be a law
And we'll make it
Yeah we will make it

You know just this depends on
Your force your force
And you know we adjust

We know justice justifies the wars
The wars
And you know we adjust

When it comes hard

We know right from wrong
And we know which side we are on
It's very simple

You only have to choose which side you're on
Which side you're on
We are the good ones

There will be a law
And we'll
Yeah, we will make it

Overall Meaning

The song "The Law" by Museum is a political commentary that explores the idea of power and control. The lyrics suggest that the people in power determine what is good and bad, friend and foe, and ultimately decide which side you are on. The song creates a sense of unease and challenges the listener to question authority and their own beliefs.


The repetition of the phrase "we do" emphasizes the idea that those in power have a sense of superiority and control over others. The lines "We know right from wrong / And we know which side we are on / It's very simple" suggest that those in power see the world in black and white terms, while the rest of society is left to navigate the grey areas. The phrase "There will be a law / And we'll make it" highlights the idea that those in power have the ability to create and enforce laws, which can be used to shape society.
