Why must you record my phone calls?
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you, that's threatening me

Can't fight [bad word] with con tricks
They use the law [bad word] crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster time

Don't call me scar face

Can't [bad word] while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
And Catch 22 says if I sing the [bad word] 
They won't make me an overnight star

Don't offer us legal protection
They use the law [bad word] crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster time

Bernie Rhodes knows Don't Argue
