Sedition Law
King Radio Lyrics


Believe, I warning the rich an' poor
Be careful friends today from this seditious law
Believe, I warning the rich an' poor
Be careful friends today from this seditious law
If you talk without defense, you have no evidence

They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk
They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk
They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk

A fellow was charged for that offense
An' his lawyer couldn't break down the evidence
Because the jurors' decision that he was guilty
But the Judge really acted with sympathy
I mean by givin' him two years in custody

I 'gree with any man who speakin' for their rights
But you cannot say everything what you like
There's certain lhlngs would affect the authority
Who was the strength and the force in this colony
An' when you get the blow, in the jail you'll walk

You wants to be versed in politics
I mean you got to be cocky with a lot of tricks
Firs' you got to use a little diplomacy
Mix up with common sense and psychology
And when you get the blow, not only talk

They mean to licen' we foot
They don' wan' we walk
They mean to licen' we foot
They don' wan' we walk
They mean to licen' we foot
They don' wan' we walk

Politics improving our native lan'
We lectured and preached by women and men
But you gotta know friends, what you talking about
And you're sure to pay darn dear for your mouth
So if you know you can't use the knife and fork

They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk
They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk
They mean to license me mouth
They don' wan' we talk
