John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers- Mists Of Time Lyrics

The time must surely come
It is inevitable that a time will come

For the laws to fit the times
When laws need to be updated to be in line with the current context

But while the law is standing
While the current laws are in place

You gotta open up your minds
It is necessary to be open-minded

It seems to be the fashion
Currently, it is popular or common to

To say you're right and they are wrong
To express the attitude of being right and portraying others as wrong

But you gotta see both sides
There is a need to understand both perspectives

You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long
Otherwise, one may end up in jail in the future

You're screamin' at policemen
You are loudly expressing anger or frustration towards the police

But they're only doin' a gig
However, they are only doing their job

Gotta try and take the time
There is a need to make an effort and take the time

To figure out how the issue got that big
To understand how the issue became so significant

Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you
Lenny Bruce attempted to communicate to you

Many things before he died
Numerous important messages before his death

Don't throw rocks at policemen
It is not productive to physically attack the police

But get the knots of law untied
Instead, it is essential to rectify the complex issues that exist within the legal system

Every time you're holdin'
When you are in possession of something illegal

You are guilty of a crime
It is considered illegal and thus deserving of punishment

The laws must change one day
It is inevitable that laws will have to evolve over time

But it's goin' to take some time
However, it will be a gradual process that requires effort and patience
